The planned meeting follows an interview between Zelenskiy and right-wing activist Laura Loomer, who has previously been critical of Ukraine but recently changed her stance after visiting Kyiv. In a post on X, Loomer stated that Zelenskiy had told her he would likely be in the United States next week for a trip that would include a meeting with Trump.
Loomer's visit to Ukraine and subsequent interview with Zelenskiy mark a significant shift from her previous anti-Ukraine rhetoric. She has previously called Ukraine corrupt and full of “Nazi apologists,” a charge that Russia invoked to justify its 2022 full-scale invasion. However, during her recent trip, Loomer expressed support for US sanctions on Russia and criticized the Kremlin's actions.
The meeting between Zelenskiy and Trump comes amid ongoing Russian attacks on Ukraine. On Friday, a daytime ballistic missile attack in the Kyiv region killed six people and injured dozens more. Another five people died when an air bomb hit the eastern city of Sloviansk. The interview with Loomer also highlighted Zelenskiy's improved relationship with Trump, describing their brief conversation in the Vatican in April 2025 as a “historic moment.”
