Until 2014, the prime minister, whose nomination was proposed by the Speaker of the Verkhovna Rada of Crimea (Crimean parliament) with the approval of the President of Ukraine and then the Crimean parliament, presided over the Council of Ministers of Crimea.[2][3]
Following the Annexation of Crimea by the Russian Federation in 2014, the prime minister has been appointed by the head of the Republic of Crimea, once a candidate for the prime minister has been approved by the State Council of Crimea (Crimean parliament). The head of the Republic of Crimea could lead the Council of Ministers of Crimea, but he must also be approved by the State Council.[4]
