The Constitutional Court of Ukraine (Ukrainian: Конституційний Суд України, romanizedKonstytutsiinyi Sud Ukrainy, pronounced [kɔnstetʊˈt͡sʲii̯nei̯ sud ʊkrɐˈjine]) is the sole body of constitutional jurisdiction in Ukraine. The Constitutional Court of Ukraine interprets the Constitution of Ukraine in terms of laws and other legal acts.

The Court initiated its activity on 18 October 1996. The first Court ruling was made on 13 May 1997.

On urgent matters the Constitutional Court rules within weeks, but on matters deemed less urgent it can take months.[3]

Decisions of the Constitutional Court are binding, final, and cannot be appealed.[4]
