The administrative division of regions of Ukraine is not homogeneous, but it is standardized. The regions are subdivided into raions (see also urban raions), that are further divided into hromadas. Not all regions have each type of those subdivisions. The most inconsistent type of division is raion within city.
The official names of populated places and raions in the country are determined through legislation passed by the Verkhovna Rada, Ukraine's parliament, typically at the request of local authorities; urban districts are named by each city's municipal council or other local government.
