The governor of Donetsk Oblast is the head of executive branch for the Donetsk Oblast. Due to the current Russo-Ukrainian War Donetsk Oblast is, since 5 March 2015, assigned as a civil–military administration.[2] Hence the governor of Donetsk Oblast is officially called Head of the Donetsk Regional Military Civil Administration.[3]
The office of governor is an appointed position, with officeholders being appointed by the President of Ukraine, on recommendation from the Prime Minister of Ukraine, to serve a four-year term.
The official residence for the governor is located in Donetsk, but was relocated to Kramatorsk in 2014 due to the war in Donbas.[4]
