"You don't need to listen to a podcaster and let them influence your opinion about a country. You can look at those facts yourself," Loomer said.
Addressing the broader impact on Trump's MAGA movement, Loomer asserted that her firsthand observations are already influencing conservative audiences back home.
"Oh, 100%.
I've received messages all day from different people and media and politics and people just who follow me online who said, 'Wow, I didn't realize how much we've been lied to.'
'Wow you really opened my eyes,'" she said.
Infrastructure and Cultural Visits
As part of her trip, Loomer inspected a DTEK Group power substation in the Kyiv region.
The facility had been destroyed by a Russian missile strike in 2022 but was subsequently restored and modernized with assistance from the U.
S. government, now supplying power and heat to 20,000 households.
Ukrainian officials welcomed Loomer's visit as an opportunity to bridge gaps with key American conservative figures.
Natalia Yemchenko, Director for Public Relations and Communications at SCM, highlighted the significance of the restored infrastructure on social media.

"Laura Loomer, a U. S.
conservative influencer, visited a DTEK Group substation in the Kyiv region that was destroyed by a Russian missile strike in 2022.
Thanks to support from the U. S.
government, the facility was not only restored but also modernized," she wrote.
Yemchenko emphasized that Ukrainian energy workers are deploying cutting-edge technologies despite ongoing military threats, including the construction of a digital distribution substation built with equipment from U.
