Step 1
Today Ukraine is a model of a parliamentary-presidential republic. It has the following division of the branches of government. The Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine is the highest legislative body. The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine performs the functions of the executive branch. There is also a judiciary in Ukraine, but it is independent and does not significantly affect the form of government. As for the President of Ukraine, he is considered the first person of the country and acts on its behalf in the domestic and international arena.
Step 2
The parliamentary-presidential republic owes its name to the fact that most of the powers to govern the country are vested not in the president, but in the parliament. In Ukraine, this is the Verkhovna Rada, which is elected by general elections for 5 years. It is she who, along with the adoption of laws, appoints the head of government (prime minister) and its members, as well as other top government officials. These include the heads of the Security Service, the State Property Fund, the Antimonopoly Committee, the National Bank, etc. In addition, parliament is empowered to elect judges indefinitely.
Step 3
Parliament may be dissolved ahead of schedule by the President. This is due to the inability of the MPs to form a majority coalition or a new government. Also, the parliament is threatened with dissolution if plenary sessions cannot begin within 30 days within one session.
Step 4
The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine is accountable to parliament. The head of government, ministers of defense and foreign affairs are appointed by the Verkhovna Rada on the proposal of the President of Ukraine. The rest of the members of the government are elected by the parliament after being nominated by the prime minister. If necessary, the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine may dismiss the Prime Minister. It also entails the resignation of the entire government. Also, the powers of the current Cabinet of Ministers are terminated with the beginning of the work of the parliament of the new convocation.
Step 5
The President of Ukraine is also elected by popular vote for a term of 5 years. He is not empowered to appoint members of the government. At the same time, he has the right to submit to the Verkhovna Rada for consideration the candidacies of the Prime Minister, Ministers of Defense and Foreign Affairs, and also the head of the Security Service. At the same time, the candidacy of the prime minister is preliminary proposed to the president by the parliament.
