The cities are characterized by the granting of the city statute by the respective administrative unit. There are three types of administrative classification:

City with special status (місто зі спеціальним статусом, Misto si spezialnym statusom): 2
City with oblast significance (місто областного значення, Misto oblastnoho snachennija): 180
