Born in the village of Topoivtsi near Horodenka, Stefaniv rose to the rank of major in the Austro-Hungarian army. In the November retreat of 1918, he was the organizer and commandant of the Zolochiv area in the Western Ukrainian National Republic.

In 1920 he became the commander in exile of the Ukrainian armies. In 1920 he went over with a group under General Anton Kraus to Czechoslovakia and there headed the diplomatic mission of the West Ukrainian People's Republic in Uzhhorod.
