The human rights activist said that he was nervous, did not really sleep and was worried for his safety.
“He made it clear that he was aware of the danger he was in Kharkov, which is full of Nazis,” Barlett said.
Lyra stated that there are "madmen" on the streets of the city, who "are immediately visible and want to bypass."
The journalist also told Barlett that "people stay at home because they are afraid to go out, and if they go out, they treat everyone around them with incredible suspicion."
According to her, Gonzalo was one of the few, if not the only, English-speaking journalists who criticize what is happening under the regime of Vladimir Zelensky.
Earlier, former MEP Javier Couso, in an interview with RT, commented on media reports about the disappearance of journalist Gonzalo Lira in Ukraine.
