Yalta Municipality

Yalta City Municipality (Russian: Я́лтинский городско́й сове́т; Ukrainian: Я́лтинська міська́ ра́да; Crimean Tatar: Yalta şeer şurası, Ялта шеэр шурасы), officially "the territory governed by the Yalta city council", also known as Greater Yalta (Russian: Большая Ялта) is one of the 25 regions of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, a territory recognized by a majority of countries as part of Ukraine but forcibly incorporated into Russia after Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014.

It is a resort region, located at the southern shore of Crimea – one of the most famous recreational territories of the former Soviet Union.

[1] Within the framework of administrative divisions of Russia, Yalta is, together with a number of urban and rural localities, incorporated separately as the town of republican significance of Yalta—an administrative unit with the status equal to that of the districts.

In July 2020, Ukraine conducted an administrative reform throughout its de jure territory.

This included Crimea, which was at the time occupied by Russia, and is still ongoing as of October 2023.
