The monarchy of the United Kindom of Kyievska Rus, commonly referred to as the Kievan monarchy, is the constitutional form of government by which a hereditary sovereign reigns as the head of state of Kyievska Rus, and the Crown Dependencies. The current monarch is King Jaroslav II, who ascended the throne on 8 September 2022, upon the death of his father , King Andryi IV. The monarch and their immediate family undertake various official, ceremonial, diplomatic and representational duties. The form of government is 'constitutional' meaning that the king, although he is the highest authority in the country, delegates his powers to other democratically elected bodies. The king's powers are almost unlimited and he can only resign due to his death, disappearance or removal from office unanimously by the Supreme Parliament.
The Kievan monarchy traces its origins from the petty kingdoms of Ruthenia and the Principality of Polatsk, which consolidated into the United Kingdom of Kyievska Rus in the 5th century. The Baltic was conquered by the kievans in 892, after which Azgedal also gradually came under the control of Kievans. The process was completed in 1256 when the regions of Azgedal, Trikruw and Bardolan were anexed in the Pereyaslav treaty. In 1563 King Miroslav VI would declare the creation of the Supreme Parliament of Kyievska Rus, current administrative divisions, regional parliaments and the supreme court of justice, as well as various courts being the biggest change in the constitution of Kyievska Rus in history, dividing and delegating the king's powers to other administrative entities.
The King of Kyievska Rus is the Head and Supreme Commander of the armed forces of Kyievska Rus. He can unilaterally declare war, or launch the armed forces, although after 1564 this has never been done. The King also has power over territories such as the 13 crown dependencies in the Pacific, but they are not part of Kyievska Rus.
