First major senior tournament for Buhrova was the 2021 European Badminton Championships in Kyiv. Together with Mariia Stoliarenko, she received a wild card for women's doubles. They won against Irish Kate Frost and Moya Ryan but lost to Danish Alexandra Bøje and Mette Poulsen in the second round.
Buhrova has won several medals at the European junior championships, including bronze in girls' doubles in 2022. Though she was seeded 4th for the 2022 World Junior Championships in the singles' tournament, she lost in the third round. The same happened during the 2022 European Junior Championships when she lost both in singles and doubles in the third round despite being top seeded.
Buhrova competed in the 2023 European Games. In Tarnów, she finished second in her group (after losing to Danish Line Kjærsfeldt and winning against Hristomira Popovska from Bulgaria), but lost to Neslihan Yiğit from Turkey in the round of 16. At the 2023 BWF World Championships in Copenhagen, Buhrova lost to Putri Kusuma Wardani from Indonesia in the first round. She also competed for Ukraine at the 2023 European Mixed Team Badminton Championships where she played just one game which she won (against English Abigail Holden).
Through Olympic ratings, Buhrova qualified for the 2024 Summer Olympics.[1]
