According to
http://www.risu.org.ua/article.php?sid=265&l=ua
..."У доповіді В. Бондаренка було представлено статистику, за якою половина громадян України є атеїстами. І якщо другу частину вважати за 100% всієї чисельності, котра сповідує якусь релігію, то: на православних припадає 53,8%; на греко- католиків - 13,2%; на римо-католиків – 3,6%, на протестантів різноманітних деномінацій - 25,8%; інші – 3,6%."
If this is true and also assuming that the number of the Greco-Catholics is around 5 million followers (what was mentioned during the Pope John II visit to Ukraine or 13,2%) and the fact that Ukraine's protestants are 25,8% (twice more then Greco-Catholics) what makes them strong around 10 million followers ?
: 1-largest - Donetsk Oblast 5.3 mil.
: 2-largest - Kyiv Oblast (city icluded) 4.6 mil.
: 8-largest - Zaporizhzhia Oblast 2.1 mil.
