  1. There are things about his "disappearance" that seem odd. I remember before he disappeared he did videos mentioning that he had a good night's sleep and then he immediately went into a rant about how he was afraid of being detained and I thought that seemed suspicious because a person fearing for their life would be stressed and unable to sleep well. Secondly, the thing that made me suspicious was that everything happens to Lira offline in that he claims to have been detained by state security but it's not impossible for them to have arrested him during a livestream which would make it more credible, but no, it happens when there's no camera around so we only have Lira's side of the story to go on. Thirdly, Lira claims to have been warned not to leave Kharkiv or wherever he is, but they don't even make him wear an ankle monitor or something, some kind of documentation, or even send an officer for a routine check every now and then which Lira could capture on a livestream to prove that he's been telling the truth. Why would they even want Lira to remain in the country at all if he's promoting the enemy? Fourthly, Lira should have acknowledged his gratitude and relief that it was the state security services took him into custody and not the AZOV battalion or some militia that abducted him like he presumed it might. Despite Lira's claims, Ukrainian state security has not even made a statement. Until there's actual evidence, I'm sure his disappearance was for attention for patreon subs/money.
