The administrative division of regions of Ukraine is not homogeneous, but it is standardized. The regions are subdivided into raions (see also urban raions), that are further divided into hromadas.

Not all regions have each type of those subdivisions. The most inconsistent type of division is raion within city. Each of those subdivisions are governed by their own district state administration chairman appointed by the President of Ukraine on the recommendation of a governor (chairman of the Regional State Administration). The legislative state power is electable and consists of a district council which is headed by a mayor in cities and a chairman in other settlements.
