The analysis of the situation in the Muslim environment shows that at present the process of forming a religious network in Ukraine has largely taken place. The vast majority of communities are under the jurisdiction of three spiritual centers - the Spiritual Administration of the Muslims of Crimea (296 communities), the Spiritual Administration of the Muslims of Ukraine (58), the Spiritual Center of the Muslims of Ukraine (14). In addition, there are communities that do not belong to any of these three centers. From time to time they try to unite. So, today, no spiritual center represents all Muslims of Ukraine and cannot formally and officially speak on their behalf.
