Gonzalo’s father announced his son had died in a Ukrainian prison on Friday, and held the State Department, Joe Biden and the Zelensky regime responsible.
Journalist Gonzalo Lira, whose death was recently announced by his family, issued a chilling warning last year that he would be killed while in Ukraine’s custody.
Lira, a U.S.-Chilean citizen, was arrested by the Ukrainian Security Service (SBU) in May 2023 for criticizing the Zelensky regime.
