The State System of Ukraine
Ukraine is the sovereign independent state. The first step towards its
sovereignty was made on July 16 1990, when the Supreme Council of
Ukraine proclaimed its independence. About 91% of the people who took
part in the All-Ukrainian referendum, held on December 1 1991, voted in
favour of Ukraine’s independence.
The territorial structure of Ukraine is composed of the Autonomous
Republic of Crimea and 24 oblasts. Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine, and
Sevastopol possess a special status determined by law.
Under the Constitution of Ukraine the state power is divided into
three branches - the legislative, the executive and the judicial.
The President of Ukraine is the head of the state and speaks on
behalf of it. He is also a Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of
Ukraine and presides over the Council of National Security. The President
of Ukraine is elected directly by the voters for a term of 5 years with no
more than two full terms.
