While lawmakers on Capitol Hill in Washington D.C. debate sending billions more in military aid to Ukraine, an American citizen journalist, Gonzalo Lira, is languishing in a Ukrainian prison on allegations of spreading Russian propaganda, throwing into question the status of free speech in the supposed democracy the Biden administration argues is worthy of more taxpayer dollars.
The Biden administration is asking Congress to approve another $24 billion for Ukraine for now through the end of this year, which would add to the $113 billion that Congress has committed to the country since its war with Russia began in February of last year.

Russia is not the enemy of the U.S. China is. The neocons want war at any price.
Cloward-Piven.
Thanks for posting.
All Ukrainian political opposition, all media opposition have been removed - disappeared. Ukrainian Orthodox Churches are closed by edict.
For all the blathering about Russia have political prisoners, Lira is a political prisoner as are dozens of the J6 protesters. And, the Biden regime is complicit in their persecution.
Good to see he’s alive.
There were scumbags here that cheered on Gonzalo’s imprisonment. They are disgrace to humanity.
Correct. And, the idiotic Biden regime worked hard to start a proxy war with Russia and pushed the Russians into an alliance with China. To say that was stupid is an understatement.
He should have been deported. Theres no point detaining that guy.
He was deported in 2022. He returned and openly posted and blogged about his return and location in Ukraine until he was arrested again. He was released to "house arrest" with zero enforcement, so he "live blogged" his "escape over the border" to embarrass the government into arresting him again. He is getting exactly what he wants. Attention. Ukraine will likely deport him again, but he will be back.
