Ukraine is administratively divided into 24 oblasts, one of which is an autonomous republic, the Autonomous Republic of Crimea. Its administrative status 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, the Verkhovna Rada.[1] In 2014, the Autonomous Republic of Crimea was annexed by Russia as the Republic of Crimea.[2] In 2016, the UN General Assembly reaffirmed non-recognition of the annexation and condemned "the temporary occupation of part of the territory of Ukraine—the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol".[3][4]
In the past, there were two autonomous soviet socialist republics within the general administrative division of the Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic.
Notes
- ^ The official capital was stated to be Chișinău, but the autonomous republic was governed first from Balta, then Birzula and finally from Tiraspol.
