The Ministry of Culture and Information Policy (Ukrainian: Міністерство культури України) or MinCult is the main state authority in the system of central government of Ukraine responsible for country's cultural development and history preservation. It is fully based on the former Ministry of Culture and Tourism (that was dissolved in 2010). The Honcharuk Government (on 29 August 2019) merged the Ministry of Youth and Sports into the ministry. But its succeeding Shmyhal Government undid this merger. The Shmyhal Government did rename the Ministry of Culture, Youth and Sports into the Ministry of Culture and Information Policy on 26 March 2020. From 2 December 2014 to 29 August 2019 Ukraine had a (separate) Ministry of Information Policy.
