Ukraine competed at the 2022 Winter Olympics in Beijing, China, from 4 to 20 February 2022, in its eighth appearance as an independent nation.
Oleksandr Abramenko and Oleksandra Nazarova were the country's flagbearer during the opening ceremony. Meanwhile biathlete Olena Bilosiuk was the flagbearer during the closing ceremony.
The games were held amidst the prelude to the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Prior to the opening ceremony the Ministry of Youth and Sports of Ukraine advised its athletes to avoid Russians where possible and instructed them how to behave in case they are provoked.Ukraine Tells Winter Olympic Athletes to Shun Russian Rivals, The Moscow Times (24 January 2022)'We're not best friends': Ukrainian and Russian athletes keep distance, Reuters (4 February 2022) The ministry also did not recommend Ukrainian athletes to give interviews in Russian.Ukraine Advises Its Olympic Athletes to Not Take Photos With Russians in Beijing, Newsweek (26 January 2022)
Ukrainian athletes won a total of one silver medal, matching their medal haul from the 2018 Olympics, although that medal was a gold. Therefore, this result can be considered the worst since 2010 when Ukraine did not win any medals.
