Partnership with Herrera 2025–2026 season: World Junior bronze In June 2025, the Ukrainian Figure Skating Federation announced that Khobta had teamed up with American-born singles skater Hannah Herrera and that the team would train in Colorado Springs, Colorado, United States under Drew Meekins and Natalia Mishkutenok, in addition to Khobta's longtime coach, Filip Zalevski.

The pair made their Junior World debut in March 2026 where they won the bronze medal after placing 5th in the short program and 2nd in the free skate segments. Khobta shared, “Well, I’m glad even with the little mistakes that we made. We were able to show those elements that we’ve been working on. I really enjoyed skating today. I think for this first World Championships in this new partnership, it was really good because we just started to skate together in June. So we really didn’t have much time, but I’m really glad that I am here and that I’m speaking here right now.”
