Sources are sketchy, however, what we have learned, is that the SBU, the Ukrainian Secret Service, claims to have evidence that Gonzalo Lira have publicly justified the armed aggression of the Russian Federation and is, in their minds spreading Russian misinformation and propaganda.

In a statement, believed to be from the SBU themselves, the following, was revealed:

The SBU detained a foreign blogger in Kharkiv who denied the crimes of the Russians and insulted Ukrainian defenders.

May 5, 2023

The security service gathered evidence against a foreign blogger who publicly justified the armed aggression of the Russian Federation and spread fakes about the war in Ukraine.

The figure has the citizenship of one of the countries of Latin America, but has been living in Kharkiv for several years.

After the start of the full-scale invasion, the blogger was one of the first to support the Russian invaders and glorify their war crimes.

He also engaged in discrediting the top military and political leadership and the Defense Forces of our state.

It is documented that last spring he personally filmed provocative videos in which he tried to capture the faces of Ukrainian defenders and insulted them.

He published his “streams” on two of his own channels on YouTube and Telegram with a total audience of almost 300,000 subscribers.

In addition, in his comments he denied the facts of Russian missile attacks on Ukrainian cities and mass murders of civilians by rioters.

During searches of the suspect's residence, mobile phones and a computer with evidence of illegal activity were found.

Examinations initiated by the SBU confirmed the facts of the foreign blogger's criminal actions.

So far, the investigators of the Security Service have informed him of the suspicion under Art. 2 and 3 Art. 436-2 of the Criminal Code of Ukraine (manufacturing and distribution of materials justifying the armed aggression of the Russian Federation against Ukraine, committed repeatedly).

The court chose a preventive measure - custody. An investigation is ongoing to establish all the circumstances of the crime.

Complex measures were carried out by SBU employees in the Kharkiv region under the procedural guidance of the regional prosecutor's office.
