Oblasts of Ukraine - Областей України

An oblast (Ukrainian: область) refers to one of Ukraine's 24 primary administrative units. Ukraine is a unitary state, thus, the provinces do not have much legal scope of competence other than that which is established in the Ukrainian Constitution and by law. Articles 140-146 of Chapter XI of the constitution deal directly with local authorities and their competency.
