Expat Gonzalo Lira chose to reside outside their country of citizenship with perhaps intentions to return to their country of origin.
However, the International Organization for Migration of the United Nations defines the term as ‘a person who voluntarily renounces his or her nationality’.
Apparently, Lira had been arrested after allegedly spreading pro-Russian propaganda and then breaking his bail conditions. Newsweek said Lira was “formerly a pick-up artist who posted videos to YouTube.”

Other than this, I have little knowledge of Lira his life, crimes, or death.
He only stayed in Ukraine between he had two children that lived there.
Dissent is not allowed in Ukraine. It's absurd to try to pass it off as a democracy. It's as repressive as the old Soviet Union.
