The U.S. Washington Post reported that the Trump administration is preparing for a large-scale deportation of Ukrainians. So, how many Ukrainians are there in the United States? According to the U.S. Census Bureau, approximately 1 million Ukrainians lived in the United States in 2019. However, the "Ukrainian Weekly" estimates that if immigrants, non-immigrant visas, and undocumented immigrants are all included, the number of Ukrainians in the United States could be between 1.46 million and 1.81 million. A considerable portion of them do not hold U.S. citizenship and are the main target for deportation by Trump.
Regarding the U.S. government's actions, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy responded: "It's fine, we can properly accommodate them." Zelenskyy's words might not be an empty statement. For Zelenskyy, who is short of manpower, having batches of Ukrainians returned from the U.S. could alleviate the manpower crisis on the front lines to some extent. Therefore, both Trump and Zelenskyy are not being serious; one wants to send, and the other wants to receive, each getting what they want.
