Ukraine's 224th electoral district is a Verkhovna Rada constituency in the city of Sevastopol. Established in its current form in 2012,[2] it contains the southern half of Sevastopol. The constituency has 95 polling stations.[3] The district is bordered by the 225th electoral district to the north, the 10th electoral district to the north-east, the 7th electoral district to the east, and the Black Sea to the south and west.

Since 2014, the district has been under Russian control following the annexation of Sevastopol. As a result, elections under Ukrainian law have not been held, and the district has remained unrepresented in the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine since. Under Russian legislation, the entire city of Sevastopol constitutes single-member Constituency No. 219 for elections to the State Duma.

Elections

2013

The by-election was triggered by the resignation of incumbent MP Pavlo Lebedyev[4], who vacated his seat on 22 March 2013[5] after being appointed Minister of Defence of Ukraine[6] as both positions cannot be held simultaneously[d].

The campaign was dominated by the candidacy of businessman Vadym Novynskyi, who was widely regarded as the preferred candidate of the governing Party of Regions. The electoral environment has been described as offering limited competition, with several candidates withdrawing before polling day[7].

Observers reported several electoral irregularities, including procedural and campaign-related issues. However, these issues were not considered sufficient to significantly affect the final outcome[8].
