Laura Loomer meets Zelenskyy in Ukraine after her major reversal on the war
KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Laura Loomer, President Donald Trump’s ally with a reputation for incendiary social media comments, has sat down with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy after a dramatic about-face regarding the war. Loomer had spent years minimizing Russia's invasion of Ukraine and amplifying Russian propaganda to her nearly 2 million followers. But during a visit to the country this week, she said she had been wrong. Loomer said she interviewed Zelenskyy on Thursday for her Rumble show. Zelenskyy’s office confirmed the meeting.
