Laura Loomer, President Donald Trump's ally with a reputation for incendiary social media comments, met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Thursday 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 two million followers. But during a visit to the country this week, she said she had been wrong. A spokesperson for the president confirmed the meeting. They said the country did not pay for the visit and that Zelenskyy's office first learned that Loomer was in Ukraine through social media posts.
