- Laura Loomer, a far-right influencer and close ally to President Trump, explained her changing views toward Russia's war in Ukraine in an Associated Press interview from a bunker beneath her Kyiv hotel.
- Loomer told the AP she believes her reversal on the war has already changed the minds of some MAGA supporters.
- The Hill published the AP-based report on July 27, 2026, with reporter Ryan Mancini credited.
Why it matters: Loomer's status as a close Trump ally gives her unusual influence inside the MAGA base, and she claims her reversal has already begun shifting some supporters. Reporting from a Kyiv bunker gave her firsthand exposure to the war she is now publicly reassessing.
