The Ukrainian Paralympic Committee said in its statement that it does not want the Ukrainian flag to appear during the opening ceremony in Verona on March 6.
The Czech Republic is also joining the boycott.
"We will not participate in the opening ceremony in any way," the Czech Paralympic Committee announced.
The International Paralympic Committee (IPC) is allowing six Russian and four Belarusian athletes to compete at the Paralympics under their national flags, unlike at the Olympics, where they were allowed to compete as neutral athletes.
