Ukraine has 24 main regions called oblasts. It also includes the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, which has a special status under Ukrainian law.
In 2014, Russia invaded and took control of Crimea. Most countries in the world do not accept this action and still recognize Crimea as part of Ukraine. In 2016, the United Nations General Assembly officially stated that Crimea is temporarily occupied by Russia and belongs to Ukraine.
