Thanks! Running: iw phy phy0 set netns 3433 indeed moved wlan0 to the network namespace I created, where process 3433 ran. I did not see a way to specify the network namespace name for moving wlan0 in this command (at least iw help does not show it and I am using iw 3.4-1 on ubuntu). I did not looked into the source code of iw though.
