The Ukrainian Shooting Federation (Ukrainian: Федерація стрільби України) is the national governing body for ISSF shooting sport disciplines in Ukraine.[1]

## History[edit]

In May 2022 it was reported that two well known athletes had been killed fighting in the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. As a Junior, Ivan Bidnyak had medalled at the European Championships in 2005, and had won Ukraine's first shooting quota place to the 2012 Olympic Games.[2] Twenty-one year old Ehor Kihitov was a member of Ukraine's junior team.[3]

In November 2022, Federation President Oleg Volkov called on IOC President Thomas Bach to prevent Russian oligarch Vladimir Lisin from standing for re-election as ISSF President at the 70th General Assembly.[4] This followed calls throughout 2022 for Lisin to step down, following the Russian invasion of Ukraine.[5][6] Italian Luciano Rossi [it] narrowly won the election 136 votes to 127.[7][8][9]

## World Class Performance[edit]

Ukraine has produced a number of Olympic and world class shooters, who have won 9 Olympic shooting medals since 2000.
