LVIV, April 12 - Ukraine, which in less than two months will co-host the 2012 European football championships, also wants to hold the Winter Olympic Games in 2022, President Viktor Yanukovych announced on Thursday.
Yanukovych told reporters that feasibility studies are being conducted in the west of the country by an Austrian company "with great experience of Winter Olympics projects,” AFP reported.
Ukraine's west is home to the Carpathian Mountains which reach up to 2,000 meters (6,500 feet) and already has a handful of Alpine skiing resorts, although infrastructure is still quite limited.
