Zelenskyy meets Trump‑aligned activist Laura Loomer in Kyiv
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy sat for an interview with far‑right US activist Laura Loomer in Kyiv. Loomer, a close ally of former President Donald Trump, had previously denounced Ukraine as a haven for “Nazi apologists” and amplified Russian propaganda. After witnessing a siren‑blaring air raid, she posted on X that she had been “wrong” and expressed remorse for minimizing the war.
Zelenskyy’s office said the visit was “really important” so Loomer could see the situation “with her own eyes”. The meeting was not organized by any Ukrainian government body; spokesperson Dmytro Lytvyn confirmed Zelenskyy learned of Loomer’s presence via social media. Trump later praised the interview on his own platform.
The encounter highlights a shift in a prominent Trump‑aligned figure’s narrative on the Ukraine war, though no immediate policy changes were announced.
