In July 2020, Ukraine conducted an administrative reform throughout its de jure territory. This included Crimea, which has been occupied by Russia since 2014. Crimea was reorganized from 14 raions and 11 municipalities into 10 raions, with municipalities abolished altogether. Saky Raion was abolished, with its territories to become a part of Yevpatoria Raion, but this has not yet been implemented due to the ongoing Russian occupation.
