Oblast names and the renamed capitals
An oblast is named with an adjective formed from its capital: Вінницька область (Vinnyc'ka oblast'), the Vinnytsia oblast, Львівська область (L'vivs'ka oblast') for Lviv. Three units do not take the name of their centre: Volyn, governed from Lutsk, Zakarpattia from Uzhhorod and the Autonomous Republic of Crimea from Simferopol.
Two of the capitals changed their names in 2016 while the oblasts kept theirs. Dnipropetrovsk became Dnipro, Дніпро, and Kirovohrad became Kropyvnytskyi, Кропивницький; ISO 3166-2 still lists Dnipropetrovska oblast and Kirovohradska oblast. Kyiv and Sevastopol are cities with the rank of an oblast, and Kyiv is also the centre of the surrounding Kyiv Oblast.

- Ще не вмерла України і слава, і воля, / Ще нам, браття молодії, усміхнеться доля. / Згинуть наші воріженьки, як роса на сонці, / Запануєм і ми, браття, у своїй сторонці. (Ş̌e ne vmerla Ukraïny i slava, i volja, / Ş̌e nam, brattja molodiï, usmiȟnet'sja dolja. / Zhynut' naši vorižen'ky, jak rosa na sonci, / Zapanujem i my, brattja, u svoïj storonci.)
- Душу й тіло ми положим за нашу свободу. / І покажем, що ми, браття, козацького роду. / Душу й тіло ми положим за нашу свободу. / І покажем, що ми, браття, козацького роду. (Dušu j tilo my položym za našu svobodu. / I pokažem, ş̌o my, brattja, kozac'koho rodu. / Dušu j tilo my položym za našu svobodu. / I pokažem, ş̌o my, brattja, kozac'koho rodu.)
