Laura Loomer, a far-right influencer close to Trump, visited Ukraine and came back acknowledging she'd believed Russian propaganda about the country — she's now apologizing for her previous pro-Kremlin rhetoric. Multiple outlets including Kyiv Post and NewsNation covered the shift, with Loomer saying she was a victim of disinformation. What matters: this is a real change in position from a MAGA-aligned figure with significant reach, happening amid active Russian military strikes on Ukrainian cities — the timing and her acknowledgment that she was manipulated by state propaganda is noteworthy in the broader information war around the conflict.
