Minister of Youth and Sports of Ukraine Vadym Gutzeit says that Ukraine is counting on and working to host the Summer and Winter Youth Olympic Games in 2030 and 2032.
“We are not considering the Summer Olympics yet. We are counting on and working on the Winter Youth Olympics, Summer Youth Olympics and Winter Olympics: these are 2030 and 2032,” Gutzeit said in an exclusive interview with Interfax-Ukraine.
When asked whether the estimates for the budget and the necessary infrastructure facilities are already ready in the context of the possible holding of the Winter Youth Olympic Games in Ukraine, the minister noted that they could be held in Western Ukraine, in particular in Bukovel, and also involve some other cities, but calculations have not been made yet.
“And above all, now we are talking about the Youth Olympic Games as test ones. This is a smaller budget and not as difficult as the adult Olympic Games. They can be held in Kyiv, because the infrastructure allows,” he added.
In addition, the minister is confident that Ukraine will be able to independently host the Big Winter Olympics.
“It is difficult, but possible. It all depends on the built sports infrastructure. It is impossible to do everything at once when it has been abandoned for decades,” he said.
When asked if Ukraine is considering the possibility of holding one of the future Olympics together with one of its neighbors, Gutzeit gave a negative answer.
“There is no such thing to be able to jointly hold the Olympic Games. This is not being considered,” he stressed.
As reported, in 2020, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky said that for Ukraine an ambitious sporting goal is to host the Olympic Games.

Novak noted that this week a meeting between Ukravtodor and the state-owned enterprise Artyomsol (Donetsk region) is to take place, during which it is planned to “settle a number of problematic issues.”
In addition, the head of the agency said that Ukravtodor has already prepared more than 2,700 of machinery items and devices for winter.
“For temporary parking of vehicles during bad weather we plan to use more than 800 sites right of way, near and at road service facilities. In addition, more than 7,000 linear meters of passive means of cleaning snow will be installed on public roads of national importance,” he said.
According to Nowak, by November 1, 2019 Ukravtodor plans to complete the full range of measures to prepare the road facilities for the autumn-winter period 2019-2020.
Artyomsol is the largest enterprise for production and sale of table salt (NaCl) in Central and Eastern Europe. Its production facilities are located in Soledar (Donetsk region).
