Military figure Ihor Lutsenko said that Andriy Biletsky’s interview with American blogger Laura Loomer helped convey the Ukrainian position to a conservative U.S. audience
Military and civic activist Ihor Lutsenko said that the interview of Third Army Corps commander Andriy Biletsky with American blogger Laura Loomer was an important step in changing perceptions of Ukraine among some American conservatives. He wrote this on his Facebook page.
According to Lutsenko, this interview did more for communicating with members of the MAGA movement than previous attempts by Ukrainian diplomacy.
Finally, proper communication has taken place between my country and the American alt-right. One interview of Andriy Biletsky with the American MAGA blogger Laura Loomer, it seems, did far more here than all the previous work of Ukrainian diplomacy in this arena
He emphasized that Russia managed to shape a distorted view of Ukraine in that environment, although, he believes, the Ukrainian experience of fighting for freedom is much closer to the values of American conservatives.
I am confident that if you remove the crazy Russian optics and show Ukrainian reality, any MAGA movement member would be shocked at how much they were lied to
Lutsenko also noted that members of the Ukrainian right-conservative milieu were among the first to organize armed resistance to Russian aggression back in 2014 year.
It turned out that the resistance to the Russian Federation here was built by people with views close to theirs. Those whom Americans would classify as "conservatives" were once the pioneers of our armed resistance to Russian aggression and remain its standard-bearers today
At the same time, he stressed that today the defense of Ukraine unites people regardless of political beliefs.
It is good that today war is no longer exclusively for the right; defending the homeland is no longer for specific political groups. We are at a stage when the war with Russia is recognized as the concern of everyone, regardless of political views
In Lutsenko's view, the authority of Ukrainian servicemembers and the volunteer movement can become an additional argument for restoring U.S. support for Ukraine.
Now we have the opportunity to use this acquired moral capital and the authority of the Ukrainian right-conservative movement a second time, in order to have one more argument to bring the U.S. back among our close allies
