The ISU Junior Grand Prix in Ukraine – also known as the Ukrainian Souvenir – is an international figure skating competition sanctioned by the International Skating Union (ISU), organized and hosted by the Ukrainian Figure Skating Federation (). It is held periodically as an event of the ISU Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating (JGP), a series of international competitions exclusively for junior-level skaters. Medals may be awarded in men's singles, women's singles, pair skating, and ice dance. Skaters earn points based on their results at the qualifying competitions each season, and the top skaters or teams in each discipline are invited to then compete at the Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final.

History

The ISU Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating (JGP) was established by the International Skating Union (ISU) in 1997 and consists of a series of seven international figure skating competitions exclusively for junior-level skaters. The locations of the Junior Grand Prix events change every year. While all seven competitions feature the men's, women's, and ice dance events, only four competitions each season feature the pairs event. Skaters earn points based on their results each season, and the top skaters or teams in each discipline are then invited to compete at the Junior Grand Prix of Figure Skating Final.

Skaters are eligible to compete on the junior-level circuit if they are at least 13 years old before 1 July of the respective season, but not yet 19 (for single skaters), 21 (for men and women in ice dance and women in pair skating), or 23 (for men in pair skating). Competitors are chosen by their respective skating federations. The number of entries allotted to each ISU member nation in each discipline is determined by their results at the prior World Junior Figure Skating Championships.

Ukraine hosted its first Junior Grand Prix competition in 1997 in Dnipro. Timothy Goebel of the United States won the men's event, Viktoria Volchkova of Russia won the women's event, Julia Obertas and Dmytro Palamarchuk of Ukraine won the pairs event, and Jessica Joseph and Charles Butler of the United States won the ice dance event.

Ukraine hosted three subsequent Junior Grand Prix events in Kyiv in 1998, 2000, and 2004. The 2004 event was the competition's most recent iteration.
