Kyiv is the largest city of Ukraine, with approximately 2.95 million inhabitants as of January 1, 2022. Kharkiv had the second-largest population of around 1.42 million, followed by Odesa and Dnipro. Economic situation in Ukraine Ukraine has a population of around 42 million inhabitants - close to 70 percent of which live in urban areas, with almost three million living in Ukraine’s largest city and capital, Kyiv. The city is located in the north central part of the country on the Dnieper River and is one of the largest in Europe. The country’s second-largest city, Kharkiv, is about half of Kyiv's size and located in the northeast. Kharkiv was the first city to be occupied by the Soviet Union in 1917 until the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. Since the collapse, Ukraine has been largely divided between east and west. Many inhabitants speak Ukrainian to the west, whereas Russian is dominant in parts of the east and south. Like Kharkiv, many of Ukraine’s other biggest cities which have fewer than one million inhabitants are located to the east of the country – a region which has uprooted and displaced many of its inhabitants because of the military actions that started in 2014. In 2015, Ukrainians across the country were affected by a huge spike in inflation, which reached near 49 percent. In the following years, it marked a decrease, measuring below three percent in 2020. The country’s GDP has also been significantly impacted by the crisis, which has left approximately 1.5 million Ukrainians internally displaced since 2014, according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR). The unemployment rate was above nine percent in 2020.

Population in largest city in Ukraine was reported at 3020228 in 2024, according to the World Bank collection of development indicators, compiled from officially recognized sources. Ukraine - Population in largest city - actual values, historical data, forecasts and projections were sourced from the World Bank on October of 2025.

Population in the largest city (% of urban population) in Ukraine was reported at 11.35 % in 2024, according to the World Bank collection of development indicators, compiled from officially recognized sources. Ukraine - Population in the largest city - actual values, historical data, forecasts and projections were sourced from the World Bank on September of 2025.

With a score of ****, Kyiv was the leading city for startups in Ukraine in 2024. Lviv followed, having earned a score of **** in the period observed. Furthermore, Ukraine's capital ranked fourth among the major cities for startups in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). The score was based on several indicators, such as the number of startups in each city, the startups' qualitative results, and the cities' business and economic indicators.

This release of Data of population in major Ukrainian cities presents year, city, and population data of named Ukrainain cities between 1950-2023. Ukraine has a rich history and here are some interesting times to look at the data.

1986: Chernobyl Disaster 1990: Ukraine Declares Sovereignty 1991: Ukraine Leaves Soviet Union 2004-2005: Orange Revolution (after a rigged presidential election) 2014: Crimean Crisis 2022 - present: Russian-Ukrainian war (some say it started all the way back in 2014)

I am a Ukrainian myself and would love more people to know of our rich history!

Glory to Ukraine :)

The contemporary globalized world characterizes the rapid population growth, its significant concentration in cities, and an increase in the urban population. Currently, many socio-cultural, economic, environmental, and other challenges are arising in modern cities, negatively affecting the state of the urban environment, health, and quality of life. There is a need to study these problems in order to solve them. Urban Green Areas (UGAs) are a part of the social space and a vital part of the urban landscape. They act as an environmental framework of the territory and a factor ensuring a more comfortable environment of human life. This study aims at substantiating the importance of the UGAs, identifying the spatiotemporal dynamics of their functioning, and transforming changes in their infrastructure given the expansion of their functions. This research was carried out as a case study of the second city in Ukraine, Kharkiv. The authors developed and used an original integrated approach using urban remote sensing (URS) and GIS for changes detection to evaluate the current state and monitor spatial transformations of the UGAs. We used several GIS platforms and online resources to overcome the lack of digital cadastre of the thematic municipal area of Kharkiv. This resulted in the present original study. The study analyses the dynamics of the spatial and functional organization of the UGAs according to the Master Plans, plans, maps, and functional zoning of the city for the period from 1867 to 2019. The peripheral green areas became important after the large-scale development of the extensive residential areas during the rapid industrial development in remote districts of the city. They provide opportunities for population recreation near living places. Central UGAs are modern, comprehensively developed clusters with multidisciplinary infrastructure, while the peripheral UGAs are currently being developed. The use of URS/GIS tools in the analysis of the satellite images covering 2000–2020 allowed identifying the factors of the UGAs losses in Kharkiv and finding that UGAs were not expanding and partially shrinking during the study period. It is caused by the intensive construction of the residential neighborhoods, primarily peripheral areas, infrastructure development, and expansion of the city transport network. Nonetheless, some sustainable trends of UGA functioning without more or less significant decrease could be proved as existing in a long-term perspective. The authors analyzed and evaluated changes and expansion of the UGAs functions according to modern social demand. The research value of this is the usage of different approaches, scientific sources, URS/GIS tools to determine the UGAs transformation in the second-largest city in Ukraine (Kharkiv), to expand and update the main functions of UGAs and their role in the population’s recreation. The obtained scientific results can be used to update the following strategies, programs, and development plans of Kharkiv.

Among Ukraine's selected cities, Lviv had the largest office space vacancy rate, at **** percent as of the third quarter of 2021. To compare, the capital Kyiv had **** percent of its office stock available.

In January 2022, the highest number of offices of product-oriented IT companies in Ukraine was registered in the capital, at over 1.2 thousand. The number of product developer offices in Lviv, the largest city in Western Ukraine, was significantly lower and amounted to 128.
