One source claimed that she was introduced to Lukashenko by the beauty queen Daria Shmanai, who accompanied the president.
[3] Fashion designer Sasha Varlamov claimed that the sister-in-law Anna Eismont introduced Natalia to Lukashenko.
[6] In November 2021, she voiced a completely different version about content of a phone conversation between Alexander Lukashenko and Angela Merkel which was later disproved by the German authorities.
[3][8] On 6 November 2020, the Council of the European Union included Natallia Eismant in the list of persons and entities subject to restrictive measures set out in Annex I to Regulation (EC) No 765/2006.
Her public statements defending Lukashenko and criticizing opposition activists and peaceful protesters were considered as "seriously undermining democracy and the rule of law in Belarus".
Eismant created and pushed a narrative that labeled Belarusians protesting the fraudulent August 9, 2020, presidential election as proponents of chaos and disorder, while labeling Lukashenka as the solution to end the political chaos, portraying him as a champion of discipline and stability, and enabling the violence perpetrated against demonstrators.
