Laura Loomer Meets President Zelenskyy After Public Reversal on Ukraine War
7/24/2026, 4:52:03 AM
Meeting Highlights
Former Trump ally Laura Loomer traveled to Kyiv and sat down with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy for an interview that will appear on her Rumble program “Loomer Unleashed.” The encounter was confirmed by Dmytro Lytvyn, a spokesperson for the president, who said no Ukrainian government body arranged the visit. During the meeting Loomer asked Zelenskyy about a recent heated Oval Office exchange with former Vice President JD Vance and former Vice President Mike Pence, and Zelenskyy credited a brief Vatican conversation for easing tensions with the United States.
Shift in Loomer’s Position
For years Loomer used her platform of nearly 2 million followers to dismiss U.S. The reversal came amid broader criticism from conservative figures such as former Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who also questioned U.S. support for Kyiv.
Official Reactions
Ukrainian officials Sergiy Kyslytsya and Tetyana Berezhna accompanied Loomer on a visit to the Dormition Cathedral of Kyiv-Pechersk Lavra, a site recently damaged in a fire after a Russian attack that UNESCO described as “significant interior and exterior damage.” Secretary of State Marco Rubio, speaking at a foreign-ministers gathering in Manila, reiterated U.S. commitment to ending the “senseless war” in Ukraine while noting the absence of a quick diplomatic path.

Potential Political Implications
Loomer’s high-profile shift may influence the MAGA base’s view of U.S. aid, as her earlier criticism aligned with figures like JD Vance. By publicly engaging with Zelenskyy, she signals a possible softening of hard-line opposition within Trump-aligned circles, a development that could affect future congressional debates over military assistance to Kyiv.
