He won the 2019 Diamond League final in Zurich, with his season best of 2.32 m, which gave him a wild card entry for the 2019 World Athletics Championships in Doha.
Protsenko won a bronze medal at the 2022 World Athletics Championships in Eugene, United States.[3] He said in his interview that he spent nearly 40 days in occupied Kherson Oblast before he was able to safely leave it.[4] He spent those days in a village where he made improvised facilities to continue his trainings. After he left Ukraine to get prepared for the Worlds, he first trained in Portugal and then in Spain.[4] He also mentioned in his interview that Gianmarco Tamberi, who also showed his support of Ukraine at the 2022 World Athletics Indoor Championships,[5] supported and helped him a lot.[4]
