    Senselessly stayed when his comments could have easily been broadcast from a safe locale.

    Seeing how SBU treats its captives, they will torture and kill him. Shaitans, aptly termed by the Chechens.

    If he somehow has gone dark and escaped, God speed.

      I was under the impression that he tried to get out.. moved from Kiev to Kharkov for that purpose but then couldn’t get out of Kharkov?

      • John MR on April 19, 2022  ·  at 4:31 pm EST/EDT

        Yes. That is how it went down

        • Bonami on April 19, 2022  ·  at 4:46 pm EST/EDT

          Agreed, he mentioned his failed efforts to get out in one of his broadcasts.

      • Susiejoe on April 19, 2022  ·  at 6:15 pm EST/EDT

        Lira lived in Kharkov. He was in Kiev on business when the war broke out. He got his family out of Ukraine but being male, he could not leave by order of Zelensky. A week or two ago, everyone in Kharkov was forbidden from leaving as the Russians upped their offensive there. .

        • CalDre on April 19, 2022  ·  at 7:24 pm EST/EDT

          Lots of Ukrainians are getting out (just takes some grease for the border guards), and the order only applies to Ukrainians, which he is not.

          Seems he could have gotten out, lots of people from Kharkov managed that, or failing that, shut his mouth. Seems he liked the fame/notoriety it got him.

          Could be he is hiding for even more publicity, could be the SBU got him, hard to say. If the former, woe to him; if the latter, woe to Ukraine.

      • Jack Hamilton on April 20, 2022  ·  at 2:34 pm EST/EDT

        Lira has been living in Kharkov for years. He was in Kiev on business and returned to Kharkov.

    • Jack Hamilton on April 20, 2022  ·  at 2:35 pm EST/EDT

      Scott Ritter’s Telegram feed indicates Lira was tortured and murdered by the Kraken unit, which is part of the Azov battalion affiliated with the SBU (Ukrainian Security Services).

    When Gonzalo echoed Putin saying Zelensky was a drug addict maybe he had this in mind:

    It is likelier that he’s hiding.
    The N.a.z.i. braggards on twitter just doing some intox and making fun out of his followers.
    Those lie and lie and lie …

    • s.a.t on April 19, 2022  ·  at 3:12 pm EST/EDT

      Maybe his phone and only means of communication and internet was broken and now he is offline. I do not see images of him yet. I highly doubt they have him. If they captured him they should have proven it. What after all is there for them to hide if they are the good guys in their own eyes?

    • JDEAN on April 19, 2022  ·  at 10:38 pm EST/EDT

      Probably right. These A.ZO.V and SBU fucks are the type to gloat /brag…a tictoc/video clip would have emerged if they had him.

    • Karl Pomeroy on April 20, 2022  ·  at 9:43 pm EST/EDT

      I like your theory, Greg. I was hoping he would flee to the DPR.

  4. Serbian girl on April 19, 2022  ·  at 4:16 pm EST/EDT

    From what I’ve managed to piece together online:

    He disappeared Friday April 15. April 18 a Sarah Ashton Cirillo (previously John Michael Cirillo) journalist & trans woman working for the Daily Beast claimed GL was “Putin Russia asset” and “still hasn’t spoken up to defend his anti-Ukraine propaganda”
    https://twitter.com/SarahAshtonLV/status/1516133207531479057?s=20&t=_rUeKZL4g1r7f-iLWF_48g

    George Galloway then alerted everyone that GL hadn’t logged into to be interviewed on his show and shared a tweet by a notorious azov in Ukraine about how GL had been arrested by “Chile” aka Sergei “Chile” Velichko.

    https://twitter.com/georgegalloway/status/1516127038289158158?s=20&t=6NOpRjyNRLWtZ1D68W2AOw

    Velichko is a violent Azov member who was apparently in prison when the Russian operation started and was one of the many inmates released by Zelensky in order to fight. He was linked to the different Russian POW torture videos.

    He has allegedly denied that he was involved in the killing and torture of POWs.

    I hope since it’s public knowledge that GL has been arrested and is in custody under his responsibilty, he will be anxious not to tarnish his reputation further and will not harm GL. I understand they can hold him for 9 days without any news.

    • John Doe on April 20, 2022  ·  at 9:02 am EST/EDT

      This story about Sergei Velichko getting his hands on GL doesn’t fit with the previous news that he and another nazi called Konstantin Nemichev were caught (some three weeks ago it seems) by Russian special forces. It would seem that someone else is posing as Velichko, so let’s hope that GL is still alive and well: https://english.pravda.ru/news/hotspots/150898-ukraine_russia_torture/

    Assange is in Prison, Snowdon in Moscow, others spend years in prison. It is not the time for journalistic ethics. It`s gone. It begun on a larger scale since Kosovo that lies became the norm. Who was swimming against the mainstream was neither published nor go an assignment. Today people like Gonzalo just disappear.

    Libya was my last interlude as a photojournalist, and it was brief. If security was already lost due to a lack of discipline among the combatants since Afghanistan 2002, then it was completely defaced with “embedded journalism”.

    In Syria, journalists were then declared fair game, killed by snipers and assassinated by accidents with trucks, the law of propaganda enforcement now prevails. Truth and objectivity have no place.

    Today its about to keep people fat, keep them happy, keep them diverted and keep them entertained with dribble, shock and nonsense; because trustworthy journalism is no longer the priority, – creating confusion and news fatigue is….

      Witch estate was the estate before that one? I am thinking you will be back to a square in a jiffy. I used to drive a truck over the chunnel daily. I am telling ya because you are here. Garden. NOW.

    • buratino on April 19, 2022  ·  at 9:07 pm EST/EDT

    great coverage – thanks to George Galloway I’m sure

    Praying for this great soul

    Scott Ritter absolutely did not “confirm” Gonzalo has been killed, he said there are “reports” that it happened

    Nothing has been confirmed. What if this was you or your loved one? People can post whatever they want..it doesn’t mean it’s true. Scott Ritter was posting the same crap everyone else read. This man has a family. Just stop. Instead, inquire. Try to help. Where is Gonzalo Lira? Do as he has done for others.

  9. K.S. on April 22, 2022  ·  at 7:13 am EST/EDT

    Thankfully Gonzalo Lira has resurfaced again 4-22-22 today after having been detained by the SBU on 4-14-22. https://www.rt.com/russia/554321-lira-blogger-ukraine-released/
