It is necessary to adapt administrative units with the requirements of the NUTS. Currently still developing the regional policy on administrative-territorial division and this approach does not meet basic European regions NUTS-II recommended to Ukraine. Genetic historical and geographical taxonomy of resettlement in contrast to the current administrative-territorial directly tied to the state regional policy, which is now in the stage of active formation. For the Ukrainian Danube region has significant multi-ethnic population that should be considered, especially in the allocation of territorial communities.
