In a Ukrainian bomb shelter, Laura Loomer explains shift on Russia’s war
After touring war damage and meeting Ukrainian leaders, the Trump ally says Russian propaganda misled her and urges conservatives to question it.
- During a trip to Kyiv, political commentator Laura Loomer reversed her longstanding criticism of Ukraine after touring war-damaged sites, telling Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy she had been "bamboozled by Russian propaganda" in an underground bomb shelter.
- Loomer attributed her previous anti-Ukraine stance to Russian propaganda amplified by influential podcasters, calling this "information war" a "major national security threat" and urging fellow conservatives to reexamine foreign influence operations.
- Zelenskyy's office stated, "It takes courage to come to Ukraine and not be deterred by Russian propaganda," while Tetyana Berezhna, Ukraine's deputy prime minister, told the AP she believes Loomer's visit will have "a huge impact on relations with the U.S. administration."
- President Donald Trump appears to be tracking the trip, sharing her interview on social media ahead of his meeting with Zelenskyy in Washington this Tuesday, as Loomer said she expects to meet with Trump.
- Her trip refocuses attention on the conflict as Congress debates new sanctions intended to punish Russia, though Loomer's history of amplifying conspiracy theories like the 9/11 "inside job" claim continues to draw scrutiny.
