Fate of American Zelensky critic who went missing in Ukraine revealed
Gonzalo Lira said he had been taken by the Ukrainian Security Service last Friday
Chilean-American blogger Gonzalo Lira, who went missing in the Ukrainian city of Kharkov a week ago, has appeared online on Friday, revealing that he had been held by the Ukrainian Security Service (SBU).
"I'm in Kharkov. I'm OK. I just want to say that I'm back online," Lira said in short video chat with journalist Alex Christoforou on The Duran channel on YouTube.
"I was picked up by the SBU on Friday, April 15," the blogger revealed.
Speaking about his condition, the 54-year-old said that he was "fine physically," but "a little rattled" and "a little bit discombobulated."
Since the start of the Russian military operation in Ukraine, Lira has been using YouTube, Twitter and Telegram to criticize President Volodymyr Zelensky and Kiev’s conduct on the battlefield, while also speaking about far-right tendencies among the Ukrainian military and debunking what he saw as false reports about events on the ground. After the blogger’s disappearance, some media claimed that he could have been kidnapped by nationalists linked to the notorious Azov battalion, and even executed.
