Ukrainians in Slovakia form a small but noticeable ethnic group. Ukraine and Slovakia share a border, and eastern Slovakia has traditionally had a number of Ukrainian villages in the Carpathian mountains (many of which are still there). The town of Svidník is generally regarded as the capital of Ukrainian culture in Slovakia, and has a museum dedicated to Ukrainian culture.
