[edit]

After Ukraine declared independence in 1991, President Leonid Kravchuk established the Administration of the President on 13 December as an advisory body to the President (the Ukrainian SSR formally ceased to exist on 26 December 1991[4]). The Administration is headquartered on 11 Bankova in Kyiv.

President Leonid Kuchma kept the name Administration for the period of his two terms in office.

Under President Yushchenko, the administration was reorganized into the Secretariat on 24 January 2005 in accordance with Clause 28 of Article 106 of the Constitution of Ukraine.[5][6]

President Viktor Yanukovych restored the name Administration of the President of Ukraine on 25 February 2010.[7] On 20 June 2019 President Volodymyr Zelenskyy signed a decree that transformed the Presidential Administration of Ukraine into the Office of the President of Ukraine.[1]

The Office consists of the Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, Deputies of the Head, Chief of Staff, First Assistant to the President, Advisors, Authorized Advisors, Press Secretary, Representatives of the President, Cabinet of the President, Cabinet of the Head of the Office, Services, Directorates, and Departments.[8]
