The Ukrainian Figure Skating Championships are an annual figure skating competition organized by the Ukrainian Figure Skating Federation (Ukrainian: Українська федерація фігурного катання на ковзанах) to crown the national champions of Ukraine. The first Ukrainian Championships following the collapse of the Soviet Union were held in 1993 in Odesa, and they have been held without interruption since. In December 2013, Ukraine hosted an international event – the Ukrainian Open – which also served as their national championships. After the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the usual training processes in Ukraine were disrupted. Additionally, Russian shelling of ice arenas made it impossible to safely conduct training and competitions, and Ukrainian skaters found themselves scattered across Europe while Ukraine was under siege. Ice rinks in Kharkiv, Sievierodonetsk, Druzhkivka, Mariupol, and Dnipro have all been damaged or destroyed by Russian missiles. Planning and logistics for the Ukrainian Championships became more and more difficult, to the point where the 2023 Championships in Bohuslav were announced at the last minute and poorly attended, described as "a very depressing event, the level of which [was] lower than … an average European children's competition." Medals are awarded in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance at the senior and junior levels, although each discipline may not necessarily be held every year due to a lack of participants. Vitaliy Danylchenko and Anton Kovalevski are currently tied for winning the most Ukrainian Championship titles in men's singles (with five each), while Olena Liashenko holds the record in women's singles (with seven). Stanislav Morozov holds the record in pair skating (with seven), although these were not all won with the same partner. Two teams are tied for winning the most titles in ice dance (with six each): Oleksandra Nazarova and Maksym Nikitin, and Irina Romanova and Igor Yaroshenko. Senior medalists Men's singles Women's singles Pairs Dmytro Sharpar, who won the silver medal in pair skating with his partner Anastasiya Pobizhenko in 2016, was killed in 2023 near Bakhmut during the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
