Original Note:
The journalist in question, G. Lira, is accused of producing and distributing Russian wartime propaganda according to Article 436-2 of Ukraine’s Criminal Code. He was detained because he attempted to flee Ukraine while on bail. By most definitions, this is not a hostage. https://www.thedailybeast.com/gonzalo-lira-red-pill-dating-coach-who-is-accused-of-shilling-for-putin-is-arrested-in-ukraine
