The Ukrainian Constituent Assembly (Ukrainian: Українські Установчі Збори) was a planned All-National Congress which was supposed to confirm the Constitution of the Ukrainian People's Republic and establish a new political system. The Assembly was supposed to be the supreme state power and elections to which were to be organized by the Central Council (also known as the Central Rada), which would hold its sessions between the meetings of the Assembly. The Assembly was suspended because of the Bolshevik aggression in the Ukrainian–Soviet War (part of the Russian Civil War) of December 25, 1917 that led to a proclamation of Ukrainian independence by the IV Universal.[1]
