Also in the 2005/2006 season , Jewhen Prysjaschnjuk started together with Juri Hartsula in a two-seater.

With a twelfth and two 14th places, she came last or penultimate to the finish and finished 15th in the overall World Cup. Prysjaschnjuk did not take part in the 2007 World Cup because the Ukrainian Association did not send any athletes to the Canadian Grande Prairie .
