Abstract
Ukraine is an amalgam of regions differing in their ethno-demographic, geopolitical, economic, social and cultural characteristics.

The first three years of the existence of an independent Ukraine demonstrated that the lack of an active regional policy substantially weakened the process of state building as a whole.
