American journalist. ZelenskYy. Elon Musk fake. pro-russian propagandist

American billionaire Elon Musk wrote about this on social network X. We are talking about the Gonzalo Lira, who often criticised the Ukrainian president. In fact, these statements are nonsense, as the pro-russian propagandist died of pneumonia. This was reported by The Independent with reference to the US State Department.

There is no evidence that Lira was subjected to torture or any other form of physical or psychological pressure. This was written by analysts of EuVsDisinfo: https://euvsdisinfo.eu/report/american-journalist-died-after-being-tortured-in-a-ukrainian-prison/
It should be noted that Gonzalo Lira was detained by the Security Service of Ukraine in May 2023 not for ‘criticising Zelenskyy,’ but for justifying russia's aggression against the Ukrainian people. In particular, he claimed that a neo-Nazi regime had been ‘established in Ukraine’, denied the facts of missile attacks by the russian army on civilian targets, as well as the massacres of Ukrainians by the russian occupiers and other crimes committed by putin's terrorist regime. In the spring of 2022, Lira actively filmed and posted on his Youtube, Telegram and Twitter pages Ukrainian soldiers, trying to show their faces and insulting them.
The proof of Lira's ties to the kremlin's special services is the absence of requests from the US presidential administration to Ukraine (at that time, Joe Biden) to release the pseudo-journalist or the reaction of the American public or professional colleagues. Ukraine has freedom of speech even under martial law, so the accusation that Lira or anyone else was ‘thrown in jail for criticising Zelenskyy’ is a blatant manipulation. This is what Elon Musk has been doing for a long time. That is why we confidently consider him a source and repeater of russian propaganda and kremlin disinformation.
