Edmar made his debut for Ukraine on 10 August 2011, in a 0–1 loss against Sweden in a friendly match at his club ground in Kharkiv, replacing Ruslan Rotan for the final 17 minutes.
On 7 June 2013, his third cap, he made his first start in a 4–0 away win over Montenegro in qualification for the following year's World Cup.[3] Edmar was one of nine Ukrainian players on 6 September to score in their 9–0 thrashing of San Marino at the Arena Lviv in another qualifier.[4] On 15 November, he provided the pass to teammate Roman Zozulya for the first goal in a 2–0 victory over France, in the qualification play-off,[5] although France won on aggregate.
