From March 2018 to June 2019, she hosted the program "Ihra z Ohniom" on ZIK channel. However, she left the channel after it was purchased by her business partner and political ally Viktor Medvedchuk's Taras Kozak, who had already acquired the channels 112 Ukraine and NewsOne in 2018.

We are only connected by a certificate for Kristina to leave the country and her last name."
