Administrative divisions of Ukraine (1918–1925)

The administrative division of Ukraine in 1918 was inherited from the Russian Empire, and based on the largest unit of the gubernia (also called a province, government, or governorate; Ukrainian huberniia) with smaller subdivisions county or district (povit), and rural district (volost).

Implementation of the new system was never fully realized and was abandoned after Skoropadsky's coup-d'etat on April 29, 1918.

The system of governorates was abolished by the government of the Soviet Union in 1925, and replaced with the region (okruha) and district (raion).
