The administrative divisions of Ukraine (Ukrainian: Адміністративний устрій України, romanized: Administratyvnyi ustrii Ukrainy) are under the jurisdiction of the Ukrainian Constitution. Ukraine is a unitary state with three levels of administrative divisions: 27 regions (24 oblasts, two cities with special status and one autonomous republic), 136 raions (districts) and 1469 hromadas.[1][2]
The administrative reform of July 2020 merged most of the 490 legacy raions and 118 pre-2020 cities of regional significance into 136 reorganized raions, or districts of Ukraine. The next level below raions are hromadas.[3]
Following the annexations of Crimea and southeastern Ukraine by the Russian Federation, Autonomous Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol as well as portions of Donetsk, Kherson, Luhansk and Zaporizhzhia oblasts came under the de facto administration of the Russian Federation. Internationally, most states have not recognized the Russian claims.[4]
Overview
According to Article 133 of the Constitution of Ukraine as amended, the system of administrative and territorial organization of Ukraine consists of:
- the Autonomous Republic of Crimea
- oblasts
- raions
- populated places (cities, rural settlements, villages)
- urban districts
- hromadas (communities)[5]
In the 2020 administrative reform of Ukraine, all populated places in the country (except for two cities with special status, Kyiv and Sevastopol) were resubordinated to raions.[6] The new figure of 136 raions includes 10 in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and Sevastopol; since September 2023, the Crimean raions are functional.[7]
| Level of subdivision | Territory | Total |
|---|---|---|
| First | autonomous republic | 1 |
| cities with special status | 2 | |
| oblasts (regions) | 24 | |
| Second | raions (districts) | 136 |
| Third | hromadas (territorial communities) | 1469 |
First level
There are three types of first-level administrative divisions: 24 oblasts (regions), 1 autonomous republic and 2 cities with special status.

24 oblasts

An oblast in Ukraine, sometimes translated as region or province, is the main type of first-level administrative division of the country. Ukraine is a unitary state, thus the oblasts do not have much legal scope of competence other than that which is established in the Ukrainian Constitution and by law. Articles 140–146 of Chapter XI of the constitution deal directly with local authorities and their competency. |
| The administrative status of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea is recognized in the Ukrainian Constitution in Chapter X: Autonomous Republic of Crimea and is governed in accordance with laws passed by Ukraine's parliament. Following the 2014 Crimean crisis the Autonomous Republic of Crimea was illegally annexed by Russia as the Republic of Crimea.[8] | |
| There are two cities with special status: Kyiv and Sevastopol (occupied since 2014). Their administrative status is recognized in the Ukrainian Constitution in Chapter IX: Territorial Structure of Ukraine.[9] Unlike the oblasts and the autonomous republic, the cities with special status only have urban districts and are not subdivided into hromadas. |
