During her Kyiv visit, MAGA influencer Laura Loomer recorded an in-person interview with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Loomer announced on July 23.

“I just interviewed President Zelenskyy at Mariinsky Palace in Ukraine,” she wrote in a Twitter post.

“No questions were off limits and I didn’t pull any punches. Full interview coming soon!”

On July 20, Loomer, known for her far-right views, promotion of conspiracy theories, and for spreading Russian narratives about the war in Ukraine, posted a video of her arrival in Kyiv on Twitter with the caption, “I'm not in Russia because I'm not a propagandist.”

Loomer has recently said she was influenced for years by Russian propaganda about the Russo–Ukrainian war. She told followers she came to Ukraine to verify claims she had previously heard online. “I am going to try to find evidence for the propaganda I’ve been fed, and if I don’t find it, I will let everyone know so they too can come to see the light,” she wrote.

The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.

Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.

For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
