The system of Ukrainian subdivisions reflects the country's status as a [[unitary state]] (as stated in the country's constitution) with unified legal and [[Local government|administrative]] regimes for each unit.

Including [[Sevastopol]] and the [[Autonomous Republic of Crimea]] that were annexed by the Russian Federation in 2014, Ukraine consists of 27 regions: twenty-four [[oblast]]s (provinces), one [[autonomous republic]] ([[Autonomous Republic of Crimea]]), and two cities of special status—[[Kyiv]], the capital, and [[Sevastopol]]. The 24 oblasts and Crimea are subdivided into 136<ref>{{cite news |title=The council reduced the number of districts in Ukraine: 136 instead of 490 |url=https://www.pravda.com.ua/news/2020/07/17/7259715/ |work=[[Ukrainska Pravda]] |date=17 July 2020 |language=uk}}</ref> {{lang|uk-Latn|[[raion]]s}} (districts) and city municipalities of regional significance, or second-level administrative units.

[[Populated places in Ukraine]] are split into two categories: urban and rural. Urban populated places are split further into cities and [[urban-type settlement]]s (a Soviet administrative invention), while rural populated places consist of villages and settlements (a generally used term). All cities have a certain degree of self-rule depending on their significance such as national significance (as in the case of Kyiv and Sevastopol), regional significance (within each oblast or autonomous republic) or district significance (all the rest of cities). A city's significance depends on several factors such as its population, socio-economic and historical importance and infrastructure.
