Oleksandr Abramenko and Oleksandra Nazarova were the country's flagbearer during the opening ceremony. [3] Meanwhile biathlete Olena Bilosiuk was the flagbearer during the closing ceremony. [4]

The games were held amidst the 2021–2022 Russo-Ukrainian crisis. [5] [6] 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. [5] [6] The ministry also did not recommend Ukrainian athletes to give interviews in Russian. [6]

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.
