[[Ukraine]] is subdividit intae 24 '''[[oblast]]s''' ''(regions)'', ane '''[[autonomous republic]]''', an twa "'''ceities wi special status'''". The Ukrainian subdiveesion seestem reflects the kintra's status as a [[unitary state]] (as statit in the [[Constitution o Ukraine|kintra's constitution]]) wi unifeed [[legal]] an [[Local govrenment|admeenistrative]] regime fur ilka unit. |

Follaein the [[2014 Crimean crisis]], the Crimea an [[Sevastopol]] cam unner the the [[Roushian Federation]]'s ''[[de facto]]'' administration, whilk claims thaim as the [[Republic o Crimea]] and the federal ceity o [[Sevastopol]]. Internaitionally, maist states hisnae recognised the Roushian claims. |

The seestem o Ukrainian subdiveesions reflects the kintra's status as a [[unitary state]] (as statit in the [[Constitution o Ukraine|kintra's constitution]]) wi unifeed [[legal]] an [[Local govrenment|admeenistrative]] regime for each unit. Housomeivver, experts agree that the wide [[Autonomous entity|autonomy]] o [[Crimea]], the cultural an historical differences atween regions, combined wi lack o clarity in separation o pouers atween the levels o govrenment diminish the [[formal]] unity o Ukraine significantly. The issue o admeenistrative reform are routinely brocht up an several projects wur proposed, but failed tae get significant traction. Some o the proposed steps include the integration o a few sma oblasts, broadenin o oblast an [[ceity]] authority, clarifyin the authority an eliminatin the competeetion atween the locally electit an centrally appointit bodies. |
|||
Ukraine inheritit its administrative divisions direct frae the [[Republics of the Soviet Union|local republican]] administration o the [[Soviet Union]], the [[Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic]], an the oweraw structure didnae chynge signeificantly frae the middle o the 20t yeirhunner til the 2020 reforms; it wis somewhit complex, as aside haein several levels o a territorial subdivision it forby haed a classification fur various populate places, particularly [[Ceities o Ukraine|ceities]]. The 2020 reforms, maugre reteenin the oblasts an twa ceities wi special status (o whilk Sevastopol is - like Crimea - ''de facto'' unner Russian administration), the seicond-tier level wis radically reduced in nummer frae 490 tae 136 districts (''raions''), wi aw the 118 umwhile "ceities o regional significance" merged intae the new districts. |

The admeenistrative diveesion in Ukraine wis directly inheritit frae the local republican admeenistration o the [[Soviet Union]], the [[Ukrainian SSR]], an haes no chyngit majorly syne the middle o 20t century. It is somewha complex as beside haein couple o levels o a territorial subdiveesion, it haes its awn classification for various settlements an aw. |

Thare |
Thare is three major subdiveesions: [[oblast]] (region), [[raion]] (destrict), an rada (municipality) ceity, toun, an rural. |
||
Ceities aaways hae thair awn form o sel-admeenistration (municipality) dependin on thair status an some mey conseest o thair awn ceity's destricts (raions). A basic an the lawest level o admeenistrative diveesion is a municipality (or rada - cooncil). Municipalities can be ceity, urban or rural, locally abbreviatit as ''miskradas'', ''selyshchna rada'' or ''silradas'', respectively. |

For ensaumple, the municipalities o ''Kiev'' an o ''Sevastopol'' hae the special status o a naitional importance (significance) an ilkane is offeecially classifeed as a ''ceity wi a special status'', whilk admeenistratively is equivalent tae an [[oblast]] (region). Mayors o thae ceities, in general, as govrenors o oblasts is bein appointit bi the [[Preses o Ukraine]]. Housomeivver, the status o the Mayor o Kiev ceity, in pairticular, is somewhit mair complex, an fur mair information see [[Legal status an local govrenment o Kiev]]. The status o the Sevastopol ceity is unique an aw. |
||
On the '''oblast''' level |
On the '''oblast''' level awmaist ilkane haes at least ane ceity o oblast subordination (importance) whilk is the admeenistrative center (caipital) o that oblast. Housomeivver, some ither big ceities athin the oblast mey hae sic status as weel. The ceities o oblast subordination haes the same importance o a hale raion an is aften thair admeenistrative centers. Note that aside the regular raions thare is several ceities in Ukraine uisually o naitional (mentioned earlier) or oblast status that is subdividit intae several ''ceity raions'' o thair ain. Thae raions mey whiles include ither ceities, touns, an/or veelages. In 2010 thare wis 23 sic ceities that hae ceity raions. |
||
A |
A wheen o '''raions''' hae ceity municipalities o its level o subordination (importance) an aw. Thaim are uisually the admeenistrative centers (caipitals). No aw raions (destricts) haes a ceity as thair admeenistrative center; housomeivver, aw the raion (destrict) centers is at least urban-lik (urbanised). Aw admeenistrative centers haes thair ain form o sel-admeenistration. A raion's subordination municipalities mey admeenister several ither adjacent tae thaim local councils (municipalities), uisually rural. If a raion haes several raion (destrict) level ceities, thay mey skare an admeenistrative pouer fur the raion. |

As it wis mentioned abuin, |
As it wis mentioned abuin, aside ceity municipalities thare is urban-lik municipalities. The lawest form o sel-admeenistration is rural municipalities an veelages. A rural municipality mey conseest o ae veelage, uisually big, or combination o ither rural veelages or localities. Some veelages haes some addeitional vera sma settlements an aw. Those settlements thegither wi the hame veelage combine a local (rural) municipality (silrada). For simplicity's sake, silrada (rural municipality) is uisually refert tae as a veelage an is the lawest level o admeenistrative diveesion. The status tae ony settlement is grantit throu the [[Verkhovna Rada]]. |

Thare is some umwhile militar installation-settlements (''viiskove mistechko'') an aw. Syne the faw o the Soviet Union, the secrecy o sic settlements wis "unveiled", housomeivver, thae touns bein subordinatit directly tae the Meenistry o Defence an dae no hae thair awn ceevil admeenistration. Sic military installations are lik ghost touns that are no even identifeed on a cairt.

The teepical Ukrainian ''misto'' ocht tae be conseidert a [[ceity]], no a [[toun]] (compare tae [[Ceity status in the Unitit Kinrick]]). Housomeivver, the ceity's subordination tae aither oblast or raion should be taken intae accoont an aw, especially in the political sense. Some o urbanized settlements mey be ceities o raion subordination, awtho it coud seem confusin, a type o settlement shoud be considered first as its status is gien for admeenistrative purposes. |

Ukraine is subdividit intae 24 oblasts (regions), ane autonomous republic, an twa "ceities wi special status". The Ukrainian subdiveesion seestem reflects the kintra's status as a unitary state (as statit in the kintra's constitution) wi unifeed legal an admeenistrative regime fur ilka unit.
Fur an unnerstaundin o the cultural an socioeconomic differs athin the kintra, a knawledge o the Ukrainian historical regions is crucial in studyin the admeenistrative structur.
Follaein the 2014 Crimean crisis, the Crimea an Sevastopol cam unner the the Roushian Federation's de facto administration, whilk claims thaim as the Republic o Crimea and the federal ceity o Sevastopol. Internaitionally, maist states hisnae recognised the Roushian claims.
Ukraine inheritit its administrative divisions direct frae the local republican administration o the Soviet Union, the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic, an the oweraw structure didnae chynge signeificantly frae the middle o the 20t yeirhunner til the 2020 reforms; it wis somewhit complex, as aside haein several levels o a territorial subdivision it forby haed a classification fur various populate places, particularly ceities. The 2020 reforms, maugre reteenin the oblasts an twa ceities wi special status (o whilk Sevastopol is - like Crimea - de facto unner Russian administration), the seicond-tier level wis radically reduced in nummer frae 490 tae 136 districts (raions), wi aw the 118 umwhile "ceities o regional significance" merged intae the new districts.
General scope o admeenistrative diveesion
[eedit | eedit soorce]Structur
[eedit | eedit soorce]Thare is three major subdiveesions: oblast (region), raion (destrict), an rada (municipality) ceity, toun, an rural.
Ceities aaways hae thair awn form o sel-admeenistration (municipality) dependin on thair status an some mey conseest o thair awn ceity's destricts (raions). A basic an the lawest level o admeenistrative diveesion is a municipality (or rada - cooncil). Municipalities can be ceity, urban or rural, locally abbreviatit as miskradas, selyshchna rada or silradas, respectively.
- Ceities municipalities
For ensaumple, the municipalities o Kiev an o Sevastopol hae the special status o a naitional importance (significance) an ilkane is offeecially classifeed as a ceity wi a special status, whilk admeenistratively is equivalent tae an oblast (region). Mayors o thae ceities, in general, as govrenors o oblasts is bein appointit bi the Preses o Ukraine. Housomeivver, the status o the Mayor o Kiev ceity, in pairticular, is somewhit mair complex, an fur mair information see Legal status an local govrenment o Kiev. The status o the Sevastopol ceity is unique an aw.
On the oblast level awmaist ilkane haes at least ane ceity o oblast subordination (importance) whilk is the admeenistrative center (caipital) o that oblast. Housomeivver, some ither big ceities athin the oblast mey hae sic status as weel. The ceities o oblast subordination haes the same importance o a hale raion an is aften thair admeenistrative centers. Note that aside the regular raions thare is several ceities in Ukraine uisually o naitional (mentioned earlier) or oblast status that is subdividit intae several ceity raions o thair ain. Thae raions mey whiles include ither ceities, touns, an/or veelages. In 2010 thare wis 23 sic ceities that hae ceity raions.
A wheen o raions hae ceity municipalities o its level o subordination (importance) an aw. Thaim are uisually the admeenistrative centers (caipitals). No aw raions (destricts) haes a ceity as thair admeenistrative center; housomeivver, aw the raion (destrict) centers is at least urban-lik (urbanised). Aw admeenistrative centers haes thair ain form o sel-admeenistration. A raion's subordination municipalities mey admeenister several ither adjacent tae thaim local councils (municipalities), uisually rural. If a raion haes several raion (destrict) level ceities, thay mey skare an admeenistrative pouer fur the raion.
- Ither municipalities
As it wis mentioned abuin, aside ceity municipalities thare is urban-lik municipalities. The lawest form o sel-admeenistration is rural municipalities an veelages. A rural municipality mey conseest o ae veelage, uisually big, or combination o ither rural veelages or localities. Some veelages haes some addeitional vera sma settlements an aw. Those settlements thegither wi the hame veelage combine a local (rural) municipality (silrada). For simplicity's sake, silrada (rural municipality) is uisually refert tae as a veelage an is the lawest level o admeenistrative diveesion. The status tae ony settlement is grantit throu the Verkhovna Rada.
- Ither admeenistrations
Thare is some umwhile militar installation-settlements (viiskove mistechko) an aw. Syne the faw o the Soviet Union, the secrecy o sic settlements wis "unveiled", housomeivver, thae touns bein subordinatit directly tae the Meenistry o Defence an dae no hae thair awn ceevil admeenistration. Sic military installations are lik ghost touns that are no even identifeed on a cairt. Ane o them is on the mairch o the Kiev an Zhytomyr Oblasts cried Makarov-1.[1] Thare is a special territory whilk is unner the jurisdiction o the Emergencies Meenistry an aw. It is the territory whilk suffert the maist frae the Chernobyl Catastrophe, kent as the Zone o alienation. Some restrictit territories belang the Ecology Meenistry (umwhile Natur Environment) an is conseidert natur sanctuaries (preserves).
Thir days, thare is three enclaves. The ceity o Slavutych is admeenistratively subordinate direct tae the Kiev Oblast, while bein completely surroondit bi Belaroushie an Chernihiv region. Anither enclave is a settlement Bile whilk is locate on the Snake island an is fully surroondit bi the Black Sea. Bile is pairt o the Vylkove ceity o the Odessa Oblast. Atoun o Kotsyubynske (Irpin municipality) which is pairt o the Kiev region is completely surroondit bi the ceity o Kiev an aw.
Ither nomenclaturs fur local settlements that is nou abandoned include khutir, wirkers' settlement etc.
The follaein table is based on the 2001 Ukrainian Census.

Thare are twa types o settlements: rural an urban.
- Rural
Rural populatit auries (сільський населений пункт) can be aither a veelage (село, selo) or a rural settlement (селище).
- Urban
Urban populatit auries (міський населений пункт) can be aither a ceity (місто) or an urbanized settlement (селище міського типу). Urbanized settlements for a brevity sake aften are classifeed as touns in the Scots leid.
The chynges tae a settlement status can be done anerlie bi the Verkhovna Rada. Please, note that the size o a settlement daes no ultimately define its status awtho is a major factor. For ensaumple, the ceity o Prypiat in Ukraine still retains its status, while haein a population o zero (0) residents due tae its infrastructur: biggins, roads, utility netwirks, etc.
- Ceity vs. toun in Ukraine
The teepical Ukrainian misto ocht tae be conseidert a ceity, no a toun (compare tae Ceity status in the Unitit Kinrick). Housomeivver, the ceity's subordination tae aither oblast or raion should be taken intae accoont an aw, especially in the political sense. Some o urbanized settlements mey be ceities o raion subordination, awtho it coud seem confusin, a type o settlement shoud be considered first as its status is gien for admeenistrative purposes.
