Administrative divisions of Ukraine in 1918 was inherited from the Russian Empire and was based on the system of gubernias (provinces) divided into povits (counties) and volosts (districts). New administrative reform was adopted by the Central Council of Ukraine on March 6, 1918 which saw restructuring the subdivision of Ukraine based on a new system of regions (zemli) and abolishing system of gubernias and povits. Implementation of the new system was never fully realized and after the Skoropadsky's coup-d'etat on April 29, 1918 was abandoned.
