context_page_description: Politics of Ukraine takes place in a framework of a semi-presidential representative democratic republic and of a multi-party system. Executive power is exercised by the Cabinet of Ministers. Legislative power is vested in the parliament. Scholars have described Ukraine's political system as "weak, fractured, highly personal and ideologically vacuous while the judiciary and media fail to hold politicians to account". Ukrainian politics has been categorised as "over-centralised" which is seen as both a legacy of the Soviet system and caused by a fear of separatism. Corruption in Ukraine is rampant, and widely cited, at home and abroad, as a defining characteristic of Ukrainian society, politics and government.
  During Soviet rule, the political system previously took place in a single-party socialist republic framework which was characterized by the superior role of the Communist Party of Ukraine, the sole-governing party permitted by the Constitution.
  The Economist Intelligence Unit rated Ukraine a "hybrid regime" in 2018.
