There are 111 districts in 19 cities of Ukraine. The cities that contain district division in a city usually are of national (such as Kiev and Sevastopol) or regional significance. The number of districts in city per region varies between the minimum of two and up to 21 in Donetsk Oblast (the maximum districts in a single city are in Kiev).
The Article 133 of the Constitution of Ukraine states that districts in cities are element of the administrative-territorial division of state, while the Article 140 states that issues in organization of management of districts in cities belongs to the competence of city's councils.
The status of Kiev city is defined by the Law of Ukraine "About capital of Ukraine - Hero-city Kiev".
Before February 2016 many districts were named for people, places, events, and organizations associated with early years of the Soviet Union; but many were renamed since to comply with decommunization laws.[1]
