The [[Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church|Ukrainian Catholic]] ''Archiepiscopal Exarchate of Odesa – Crimea'' was established on 11 January 2002 from the Archiepiscopal Exarchate of Kyiv – Vyshhorod (which has now become the [[Ukrainian Catholic Major Archeparchy of Kyiv–Galicia]]). It has been divided on 13 February 2014, in '''Ukrainian Catholic Archiepiscopal Exarchate of Odesa''' ({{langx|la|Archiepiscopi Exarchatus Odessana}}) and [[Ukrainian Catholic Archiepiscopal Exarchate of Krym|Ukrainian Catholic Archiepiscopal Exarchate of Crimea]]. The only archiepiscopal exarch was [[Archbishop]] [[Vasyl Ivasiuk]], now transferred transfer to the see of the eparchy of [[Kolomyia]]-[[Chernivtsi]] of the Ukrainians.
 
They are two of the only five archiepiscopal exarchates which exist in the world, all part of the particular [[Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church]] and following the Byzantine [[Ukrainian Rite]].

== Status as Archiepiscopal Exarchate ==
{{further|Exarch}}

As [[Major Archbishop]]s have similar authority to that of [[Patriarch]]s, Archiepiscopal Exarchates similarly have roughly the same status in canon law as Patriarchal Exarchates.
