The statistics aren't current, but I imagine they would be a good reflection of Eastern Orthodoxy.
Ukrainian Orthodox - Kyiv Patriarchate 19%
Orthodox (no particular jurisdiction) 16%
Ukrainian Orthodox - Moscow Patriarchate 9%
Ukrainian Greek Catholic 6%
Ukrainian Autocephalous Orthodox 1.7%
Protestant, Jewish, none 38% (2004 est.)
Despite the various labels applied to it, it officially calls itself the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church. It currently encompasses national jurisdictions such as the Greek Orthodox, Russian Orthodox and other Churches (see Eastern Orthodox Church organization).
It is sometimes more formally referred to as the Orthodox Catholic Church to emphasize its counter claim to Rome as being the Catholic Church, but is more often known simply as Orthodoxy or the Orthodox Church.

The dominant religion in Ukraine is Eastern Orthodox Christianity, which is currently split between three Church bodies; the distant second is the Eastern Rite Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, which practices the same liturgical and spiritual tradition as Eastern Orthodoxy, but is in communion with the See of Peter and recognizes the primacy of the Pope as head of the Church. There are also smaller groups of Roman Catholic, Protestant, Jewish and Muslim faithful.
