In an interview with Associated Press, IPC spokesman Craig Spence said that he hopes that despite the difficult logistics, athlete will reach China for the inauguration ceremony of Friday.
He refused to disclose the team's whereas, citing security concerns and the invasion of Russia's Ukraine in Russia.
Spence said, "We are in a regular conversation about our participation in the game with Ukraine, and we are working hard behind the scenes to get them here."
He said that there was no flight from Ukrainian Capital Kyiv. Apart from this, flights entering China for Paralampix - As well as only for the Olympics - only some designated hubs can arise from the airports.

It is part of China's serious "closed-loop system" for the Olympics and Paralampix, which specifies athletes, employees and journalists, designated hotels, locations and media centers, in which no contact with Beijing and its 20 million residents Is.
Spence said, "For many reasons we are not confirming their location or not providing specific updates." "Health and welfare of the delegation is our number 1 priority. Less said where they are, better."
Spence said that some non-athletes were on hand from the Ukrainian delegation.
He said that some of the 71 athlines of Russia came, but they did not know how many.
About 650 athletes, including 49 delegations including Ukraine, is expected to be opened on Friday and closed on March 13.
Beijing Winter Olympics attracted 2,900 athletes from 91 delegations. It closed on February 20.
From Ukraine and other places athletes have sent an open letter to Olympics and paralampal leaders, so that they have been asked to suspend Russian and Belarusian Olympics and paralampal committees.
Spence said the IPC board - there are no Russian or Ukrainian members - on Wednesday, they will meet to deal with that and other questions. So far, Russian athletes are expected to compete.
They will not represent Russia, but will represent the Russian Paralampal Committee.
Russian athletes represented the Russian Olympic Committee in the Winter Olympics, which fell from the State Sponsored Doping Scam - and Covering - Dating from 2014 Sochi Olympics.
It is theoretically possible that some paralampal athlete can refuse to compete against the counterparts of the Russian team. Spence said that the issue can come in the meeting of Wednesday.
He said, "We are aware of the point which is out of the thoughts there and everyone." "Clearly we will love the focus to be on the game, but at this time which is not the focus."
IPC and IOC have condemned the violation of Russia of Olympic trus before Beijing Paralampix. But since the warned of war last week, neither IOC nor the IPC have direct action against Russia.
