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] Following the
2014 Crimean crisis 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".
