Huttsait told the country's parliament on Friday about the situation for the Ukrainian Olympic application, the site Inside the games states.
Despite the most obvious threat of a Russian invasion, Huttsait said that the biggest challenge facing the Olympic application is the infrastructure, that new arenas need to be built, among other things.
- We do not have enough infrastructure for winter sports, but we are working on it.
We are now reviewing how we will start and conduct the Olympics in Ukraine 2030, said Huttsait, reports Interfax according to Inside the games.
Candidate for the 2022 Games
Last year, Huttsait presented the plans for an Olympic application and the country's president Volodomyr Zelensky confirmed the ambitions of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) chairman Thomas Bach at a meeting in September, the site Gamesbids states.
Ukraine ran with Lviv as its capital to host the 2022 Winter Games, just held in Beijing, but was forced to withdraw its application when Russia invaded and annexed the Crimean Peninsula in 2014.
Sapporas and Salt Lake City are also candidates
Eight years later, Ukraine is facing a new threat from Russia at the same time as it intends to run for a Winter Olympics.
If Ukraine sticks to its plans, it will face opposition from Sapporo in Japan and Salt Lake City in the USA, as well as possibly from the Spanish Pyrenees-Barcelona and Canadian Vancouver, which has shown interest in applying for the 2030 Olympics.
Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo in Italy are hosting the upcoming 2026 Winter Games.
