Reporter Gonzalo Lira, who was a citizen of both Chile and the United States, passed away while incarcerated in Ukraine, according to the United States Department of State, which has validated the accuracy of the data. There has been a death of a citizen of the United States of America in Ukraine.
In response to a request for comment on the fact that Lira passed away while she was being held in custody, a representative of the Department of State expressed their deepest condolences to the family after learning of their loss. As always, we are prepared to offer any and all consular support that may be required. “We have no further comment at this time because we would like to show respect to the family during this trying time,” the spokesperson continued.
Tucker Carlson, a journalist from the United States, stated earlier that the reporter, who was held by the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU), has passed away while incarcerated. He cited Lira’s father as his source.
Despite the fact that Lira is a citizen of the United States, Senator Carlson said on X (which was formerly known as Twitter) that the United States administration “clearly supported his imprisonment and torture.”
Earlier, American businessman Elon Musk sent a plea to Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky, asking him to provide an explanation for the arrest and custody of another individual named Lira.
On the social network X (which was formerly known as Twitter), Tucker Carlson published an article in which he asserted that Lira was being “tortured in a Ukrainian prison since July, for the crime criticising Zelensky.” Musk made his statement in response to this publication.
