The Ukrainian Team Championship was scheduled, as ever, in June 2014 in Alushta, the well-known seaside resort in Crimea. Due to Crimean political crisis, the peninsula effectively became part of Russia, so the venue had to be changed to the nearby city of Illichivsk, Odesa region. Only six relatively weak teams came up, most of them were newly created as leading Ukrainian clubs did not take part. GM Jobava was top seed and sole foreigner. The Ternopil team Absolyut were highest ranked and Illichivsk were second seeds. While Ternopil lost in round 5 to Illichivsk to the surprise of the pundits, with last round to go the latter were in 2 match point lead over the favourites. Absolyut then steamrolled the home side 5 to 1 to take gold on game point count.
