In Ukraine, a term to denote such migrants appeared — “заробітча́ни” (zarobitchany, literary “earners”), which refers to the numerous Russian- and Ukrainian-speaking economic migrants working in the Post-Soviet states, central and western Europe and in Kyiv, [1] Ukraine's capital, in 1990-2000-ies. The term is mostly used in Ukraine, in Ukrainian- and Russian-speaking media.
In 2008 the total number of labor migrants from Ukraine was estimated to be 4.5 million people. [2] Their contribution to the economy of Ukraine is considerable.

Russian is the most common first language in the Donbas and Crimea regions of Ukraine and the city of Kharkiv, and the predominant language in large cities in the eastern and southern portions of the country. The usage and status of the language is the subject of political disputes.
