The Hetman of all Ukraine (Ukrainian: Гетьман усієї України, romanized: Hetman usiiei Ukrainy)[1][2] was the head of state and commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian State in 1918.

The Law on the Provisional State System of Ukraine was announced at the session of the Central Council of Ukraine on 29 April 1918, which laid a legal groundwork for the new position.

Pavlo Skoropadskyi transformed Ukraine into the autocratic Ukrainian State under the protection of the Central Powers, while expelling the Bolshevik forces of Soviet Russia.

During his term, the Communist Party was prohibited on the territory of Ukraine for the first time.

After the uprising led by the Directorate of Ukraine, Pavlo Skoropadskyi surrendered the title on 14 December 1918,[1] transferring the state power to the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine and going into exile to Germany.
