Special status

edit

Kyiv is a "city with special status" (Ukrainian: місто зі спеціальним статусом) within Ukraine compared to the other administrative subdivisions of the country — the most significant difference is that the city is subordinated directly to the national-level branches of the Government of Ukraine, skipping the regional level authorities of Kyiv Oblast.[3] Its special administrative status is recognized in the Ukrainian Constitution in Chapter IX: Territorial Structure of Ukraine and the Law on the local state administration[4] and is governed in accordance with laws passed by Ukraine's parliament, the Verkhovna Rada.[5][6][7][8]

Local government is carried out by Kyiv City Council and district councils, headed by their chairpersons who are elected from among the councilors.

Although Kyiv is Ukraine's capital, the city also serves as the administrative center for Kyiv Oblast (province). The oblast entirely surrounds the city, making it into an enclave. In addition, until 2020 Kyiv also served as the administrative center for the oblast's Kyiv-Sviatoshyn Raion (district).

According to the Constitution, the head of the Kyiv City State Administration should resign after a new President is elected.[2]

2010 amendments

edit

The Ukrainian parliament amended the law on "The capital of Ukraine – hero city of Kyiv" on September 7, 2010, making it possible for the President to appoint the (chairman) Head of Kyiv City Administration at his discretion. Before these amendments, the elected mayor of the Kyiv City Council was automatically appointed also as head of the Kyiv City State Administration.[9][10] A Presidential decree relieved (then) Mayor of Kyiv Leonid Chernovetsky of the office of "Head of the Kyiv State Administration", while still preserving the post of mayor.[10] This led to Chernovetsky being deprived of any official decision-making role and most power in the capital was handed over to the Head of Kyiv City Administration.[11][12][13]

Oleksandr Popov was then appointed as Head of Kyiv City Administration by President Viktor Yanukovych on 16 November 2010.[11][12][13] On 14 December 2013 President Yanukovych suspended Popov.[14] The same day the General Prosecutor of Ukraine's Office handed "a notification on suspicion of abuse of power when ordering the Euromaidan police actions of 30 November 2013" out to Popov[14] and Anatoliy Holubchenko was appointed as acting Head of Kyiv City Administration.[15] On 24 December 2013 Holubchenko stated that he regularly met with (his predecessor) Popov.[16] Volodymyr Makeyenko was appointed Head of Kyiv City Administration on 25 January 2014 by President Yanukovych.[17] The same day Popov was fired as Head of Kyiv City Administration.[17] Acting President Oleksandr Turchynov dismissed Makeyenko from the post of the head of Kyiv City State Administration on 7 March 2014 and gave the post to Volodymyr Bondarenko[18] (Then) newly elected President Petro Poroshenko appointed on 25 June 2014 Vitali Klitschko; who is the current Mayor of Kyiv since 5 June 2014.[1][19]
