Laura Loomer, an ardent ally of President Donald Trump with a reputation for incendiary social media commentary, sat down with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Thursday after a dramatic turnaround on the war that could have political reverberations back in Washington.

Loomer previously amplified Russian narratives but admitted she was “wrong” after visiting Ukraine for the first time.

"It is really important that Laura Loomer is in Ukraine and sees things with her own eyes as they are," Zelensky's office said.
