Basanska has been capped for the Ukraine national team, appearing for the team during the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup qualifying cycle.[1]

In 2019 director of the Russian club Ryazan-VDV claimed that she was forced to release Basanska due to "psychological pressure" from her homeland.[2] The Russian Airborne Troops are known also by their acronym VDV and were among the first who were used during the 2014 Russian aggression against Ukraine.
