Support us, we are Ira and Artem — an ice dance couple representing Ukraine on the world stage.

We are Ira and Artem, an ice dance couple.

In 2022 we were forced to leave Ukraine, leaving everything behind in order to preserve our life’s work — figure skating. For the past four years, we have been living and training in Vienna, continuing to represent Ukraine in international competitions.

What we have achieved over these years

Despite everything we’ve been through, we didn’t just continue — we became stronger:

• The faces of our country in junior figure skating

• 4-time Junior Grand Prix winners

• 4th in the Junior World Championships in the 2024-2025 season

We’ve been skating for 13 years — for us, figure skating is more than just a sport.

It’s our path, our choice, our breath, and our future.

Why we are asking for support

For four years, we had to carry a lot of things by our own— living, training, choreography, equipment. But our resources are now completely exhausted.

To grow further, we need financial support.

We are reaching out because we believe our story deserves to continue.

We want to keep moving forward, to represent Ukraine, to show that talent and perseverance are stronger than any circumstances.

How the funds will be used:

• Ice time and training

• Work with coaches and choreographers

• New programs for the season

• Costumes

• Physical training and recovery

Every contribution — even the smallest — directly helps us continue our careers and fight for results our country can be proud of.

Thank you to everyone who supports us

Your help is more than just financial support.

It is a chance to keep living our dream and to stay on the ice — the place that has become our home, our purpose, and the strength that has carried us through all these years.

With gratitude,Ira and Artem:)
