List of Catholic dioceses in Ukraine
The Roman Catholic Church in Ukraine comprises one Latin ecclesiastical province headed by the Metropolitan archbishop of Lviv, with 6 suffragan dioceses each headed by a bishop, and a more extensive hierarchy of the Eastern Catholic consisting of a large Ukrainian Catholic Church sui iuris (Byzantine Rite) and additional dioceses of Ruthenian Catholics (also Byzantine rite) and Armenian Catholics (Armenian Rite).

Ecclesiastical province of Lviv
Note that, even though Crimea was annexed by the Russian Federation in March 2014, this is not taken into account by the Catholic hierarchy. The Latin rite Catholics of Crimea therefore belong to the diocese of Odessa-Simferopol which is a suffragan of the archdiocese of Lviv.[1]
