Gonzalo Lira Was ‘Stopped On The Ukrainian Side of The Border From Crossing And Has Since Disappeared,’ Friend Says
Writer and journalist Gonzalo Lira was blocked at the border from fleeing Ukraine and has since “disappeared,” according to his friend Mark Sleboda.

was stopped on the Ukrainian side of the border from crossing and has since disappeared, now for more than 24 hours. That is the last that anyone has heard from him.— Mark Sleboda (@MarkSleboda1) August 2, 2023
Sleboda said he wouldn’t reveal his source but he and Lira have done multiple podcasts together in the past.
Because he didnt know if he would make it across and didn’t want to just disappear without people knowing what happened. It was a risk call.

It was a risk call. If he didn’t make it, he wanted it known what happened. He didn’t just want to disappear.

Yes. Because it is a war zone.

If it does some unreal to you, that means that you haven’t been paying enough attention to what has happened inside Ukraine since the last legitimate democratically elected govt in the country was overthrown in 2014.

“Either I’ll cross the border and make it to safety, or I’ll be disappeared by the Kiev regime,” Lira said on Monday after revealing his plan to seek asylum in Hungary.
Right now, I’m about to try to get out of Ukraine, and seek political asylum in Hungary.
Either I’ll cross the border and make it to safety, or I’ll be disappeared by the Kiev regime.
This is what’s happened to me over the past three months.

“If you don’t hear from me in the next 12 hours—whelp! I’m on my way to a labor camp!”
As I reported yesterday, “transgender” nut job Sarah Ashton-Cirillo (born Michael John Cirillo) — who is now a Junior Sergeant in the Armed Forces of Ukraine — claimed in an ominous message that Ukraine’s SBU security service “knew where Gonzalo Lira was” the whole time.
The SBU are among the most professional law enforcement agents on the globe.
They no doubt knew where Gonzalo Lira was the whole time.
