Kravets was, arguably, Dynamo Kyiv's most natural finisher and many saw him as the natural successor to Andriy Shevchenko but since the 2010–11 season (whilst on the verge of breaking into the full national team), Artem had a series of serious injuries and missed most of the last three league campaigns.{{cite web|url=http://www.fcdynamo.kiev.ua/en/allnews/artem_kravets_v_germanii_vse_ponovomu/|title=Artem KRAVETS: "Andriy Shevchenko's tips are very important"|publisher=FC Dynamo Kyiv|date=20 May 2016|access-date=22 December 2018}}
