Ukraine plans to bid for Winter Olympics in 2022.

LVOV, May 28 (Itar-Tass) -- Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovich
proposed to bid for Winter Olympic Games in 2022 and hold them in Karpathy
Mountains in western Ukraine.
Commenting on the initiative of the Council of Regions that met in
Lvov on Thursday, Yanukovich said "we shall submit an official bid to the
International Olympic Committee with a proposal to hold the Games in 2022
in Bukovina" (Chernovtsy region).
"There is still much time to prepare the event," he said.
So far Canada, New Zealand, Romania, and Spain have applied to host
the 2022 games. The IOC will choose the venue in 2015.
