Club career

Apanashchenko started her career at the capital team Kyivska Rus when she was 15 sometime in 2001.[1] In her interview in 2010 Apanashchenko mentioned that women football was completely ignored in Ukraine.[1]

In the 2008–09 UEFA Women's Cup semifinals' second leg in Umea she scored two goals that sealed Zvezda's shocking qualification for the final. She also scored Zvezda's only goal in the two-legged final.

In March 2022, she moved to Turkey and joined Ankara-based club Fomget FSK to play in the second half of the 2021-22 Women's Super League.[2]

International career

As a member of the Ukrainian national team Apanashchenko scored 3 goals at the qualifying stage for the 2009 Euro including winners against Denmark and Scotland, and contributed further to Ukraine's qualification for the tournament scoring three more goals at the play-off against Slovenia. In the Euro she scored again against Denmark, but that time it wasn't enough to win the match.
