'But critics have questioned her own fitness to decide on the matter, pointing out that before becoming minister she was co-hosting an online TV channel promoting pro-Russian narratives and disinformation about Covid-19 and vaccination. '

pointing out that before becoming minister she was co-hosting an online TV channel promoting pro-Russian narratives and disinformation about Covid-19 and vaccination.
