Kyiv City State Administration

Kyiv City State Administration (Ukrainian: Київська міська державна адміністрація, romanized: Kyivska miska derzhavna administratsiia, commonly abbreviated as KMDA Ukrainian: КМДА) is the national-level branch of the Government of Ukraine that administers Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine.

[1][2] 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.

[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.

[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.

[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.
