POLICY WIRE — Kyiv, Ukraine — Laura Loomer, a prominent ally of former US President Donald Trump known for her incendiary social media commentary, held a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Thursday. This encounter follows Loomer’s dramatic change of heart regarding the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, a shift that could have significant political implications in Washington.

Loomer had previously spent years downplaying Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and amplifying Russian propaganda to her nearly 2 million followers. However, this week marked a notable turnaround in her position.

“Just experienced my first air raid in Ukraine…”, Loomer stated, reflecting her altered perspective.

The meeting between Loomer — and Zelensky comes amid heightened tensions and ongoing military operations in Ukraine. Loomer’s previous stance had drawn criticism from various quarters, including accusations of spreading misinformation.

This development is being closely watched in the United States, particularly within political circles, as Loomer’s shift in position could influence public opinion and policy discussions related to the Ukraine conflict.
