2022–2023 season The pair did not compete during the 2022–23 season.

2023–2024 season Stepanova/Bukin won both of their Russian Cup assignments. They subsequently won the 2024 Russian Championships and 2024 Russian Cup Final.

2024–2025 season Stepanova/Bukin were assigned to stages 1 and 4 of the Russian Cup series and won both of their assignments.

2025–2026 season Following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the International Olympic Committee, the skating federations of Russia and Belarus could nominate one skater or team from each discipline to compete at the Skate to Milano event, as a way to qualify for the 2026 Winter Olympics as Individual Neutral Athletes (AINs). Each nominee was required to pass a special screening process. Stepanova/Bukin were nominated for neutral status but were ultimately not approved. Following the news, Stepanova shared, "We had a lot of questions when we found out. And we never learned the reasons for what happened...we considered how best to start the season, whether to take a break or not. We ended the previous season early to create interesting programs and come up with new elements for the Olympic season. I don’t want to say that some competitions aren’t important and only the Olympics matter – no. All competitions are important to us, and we prepare for each one and do a huge amount of work, but when you have the motivation and drive for the Olympics, nothing compares."

The pair continued the season domestically winning both of their Russian Cup assignments, the Russian Cup Final and the 2026 Russian Championships – making this their 5th national title. Jam They Don't Care About Us Orpheus and Eurydice Мой ненаглядный 2024–2025 Oh! Darling Let's Twist Again
