Ukraine competed at the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy, from 6 to 22 February 2026.

This is the country's ninth appearance at the Olympic Winter Games. The Ukraine National Olympic team consisted of 46 athletes, which is one more than the number of participants at the last Winter Olympics. Heraskevych and Sydyorko were confirmed by the International Olympic Committee as flagbearers of the Ukraine National Olympic team at the 2026 Winter Olympics.[1] Meanwhile, Dmytro Kotovskyi and Anhelina Brykina were the country's flagbearer during the closing ceremony.[2][3]

Out of 46 participants, 13 have experience of competing at the Winter Youth Olympics, while 8 sportspeople compete in the sports that have never been part of the Youth Games and 5 other athletes where born before they would have been eligible for any Youth Games.

For the first time since 2010, Ukraine failed to secure a single Winter Olympic medal.[4][5]
