Pro-Russia American Blogger Gonzalo Lira Reportedly Dies In Ukrainian Prison

YouTuber Gonzalo Lira reportedly died in a Ukrainian prison after being arrested by officials there last year. “We can confirm the death of a U.S. citizen in Ukraine. We offer our sincerest condolences to the family on their loss,” a spokesperson for the Department of State told the Daily Caller.

Daily Caller co-founder Tucker Carlson additionally reported on the incident on Twitter, stating that the blogger’s father had confirmed his son’s death. Carlson, who interviewed Lira’s father several weeks ago, criticized the Biden administration claiming they “clearly supported his imprisonment and torture.”

“Gonzalo Lira, Sr. says his son has died at 55 in a Ukrainian prison, where he was being held for the crime of criticizing the Zelensky and Biden governments. Gonzalo Lira was an American citizen, but the Biden administration clearly supported his imprisonment and torture,” Carlson stated.
