The Provisional Workers-Peasants Government of Ukraine (Russian: Временное рабоче-крестьянское правительство Украины; Ukrainian: Тимчасовий робітничо-селянський уряд України) was a provisional Soviet government created on November 28, 1918, in Kursk on decision of the Communist Party of Ukraine and help of the Russian Workers-Peasants Red Army (RKKA), with its place of location was assigned the city of Sudzha (today in Kursk Oblast). On the same day the government released its manifest. This Soviet government was created in the very same way as the Provisional Workers' and Peasants' Government of Belorussia which on 1 January 1919 also issued its manifest in Minsk. The Provisional Workers-Peasants Government of Ukraine became the highest legislative, executive and administrative body of Soviet power in Ukraine as Soviet Russia resumed hostilities against Ukraine.
