Laura Loomer, the far-right influencer and vocal Ukraine skeptic, performed a stunning about-turn after visiting Kyiv and meeting President Zelenskyy. In an interview, she now calls for moral clarity and acknowledges the daily reality of air raids.
Loomer's Reversal: From Kremlin Propaganda to Moral Clarity
For years, Loomer amplified Kremlin narratives and minimized Russia’s invasion. But after her first air raid in Ukraine, she posted: “I often said I don’t care. Looking back, that wasn’t very nice of me to say. We need to have moral clarity.”
