Laura Loomer, long known as a close Donald Trump ally and a vocal critic of US support for Ukraine, has signaled a major change in position. After what she described as being misled by Russian propaganda, Loomer said she is now firmly behind Ukraine.
The shift drew attention after Loomer released a notably friendly 45-minute interview with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that was recorded in Kyiv. The interview and her comments represent a striking departure from the stance she had maintained for years during Russia’s war against Ukraine.
Because Loomer has been a prominent voice on the American right, her reversal is politically notable beyond her personal views. Her previous opposition to helping Ukraine closely aligned with a broader strain of skepticism in pro-Trump circles, making her new support for Kyiv a sharp break from that message.
The development highlights how the debate over Ukraine continues to evolve inside conservative media and political networks in the United States. Loomer’s public change of heart, tied directly to her visit to Kyiv and her conversation with Zelensky, adds a new twist to that ongoing argument.
