It's also important to remember that Ukraine was an incredibly good area to farm, had easy trade connections and was outside the control of catholic nations - so it was an attractive destination for refugees of all kinds.... that changed drastically when Tsarist Russia forced conformity (aka effectively a genocide) in the 1860s but before that point that area looked quite ethnicly diverse with an especially large Kazakh population.
