He achieved better results at the 2004 Junior World Championships in Sollefteå , Sweden , when he was 24th over the ten kilometers in the classic style and 27th in the mass start race over 30 kilometers. In the sprint, however, he again missed qualifying as 51st. At the 2004 in Stryn , Norway , he was even 16th in the freestyle race over ten kilometers and ninth with the Ukrainian relay. Only in the sprint could he not improve as 57th and failed again in the qualification.

His best results (9th and 12th place) were in December 2005 in two freestyle races in Finland. After his two starts at the 2006 Winter Olympics , where he was 57th in the pursuit over 2 × 10 kilometers and 63rd over ten kilometers in classic style, he switched to biathlon.
