In a harrowing revelation, the family of Gonzalo Lira, a U.S.-Chilean citizen and journalist, recently announced his death while in Ukraine’s custody. Lira, known for his criticism of the Zelensky regime, was arrested by the Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) in May 2023. Prior to his arrest, Lira issued a chilling warning about the potential consequences of being caught by Ukrainian authorities.

I ask you this very humbly, please recognize the literal death that awaits me if this doesn’t work out.”
