During the start of the special military operation of the Russian Federation in Ukraine in 2022, he was in the Ukrainian capital [[Kyiv]], from where he expressed his assessment of what was happening on his YouTube channel. In particular, he said that, "although Ukraine may win the propaganda war, Russia wins the real war by capturing territory. Already 15% of Ukraine's territory is under the control of the Russian army." This video was shown on a Russian television program of the ''Piervy Kanal'' channel without his authorization, which drew attention to him in nationalist circles in Kiev. A reward for his life was announced and death threats began to be received. Gonzalo Lira sought to return to [[Kharkiv]] with his family, which he achieved after being expelled from the ''Royal Grand'' hotel. He has been critical of the government of [[Volodoymr Zelensky]], the oligarch [[Íhor Kolomoiski]] and the American diplomat [[Victoria Nuland]] whom he accuses of having orchestrated the [[Euromaidan]].<ref>[https://youtu.be/TzR---YDDIQ Victoria Nuland]</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=What Russia wants from Its invasion of Ukraine-and why Zelensky is evil|url=https://www.riotimesonline.com/brazil-news/modern-day-censorship/what-russia-wants-from-its-invasion-of-ukraine-and-why-zelensky-is-evil/|publisher=The Rio Times|date=1 March 2022|dateaccess=5 March 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Man goes on bizarre rant, claims 'evil' Ukraine Prez Zelenskiy handed out weapons to criminals|url=https://www.freepressjournal.in/world/watch-video-man-goes-on-bizarre-rant-claims-evil-ukraine-prez-zelenskiy-handed-out-weapons-to-criminals|publisher=Free Press Journal|date=March 2, 2022|dateaccess=March 5, 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|title=Robberies, rapes happening in Ukraine after govt armed civilians to fight Russians: youTuber|url=https://www.theweek.in/news/world/2022/03/02/robberies-rapes-happening-in-ukraine-after-govt-weaponised-civilians-to-fight-russians-youtuber.html|editorial=The Week|date=March 2, 2022|dateaccess=March 5, 2022}}</ref> He also says that the Twitter user James Vasquez is an actor and the place that is shown in the video appears in multiple other videos with other actors, including one with a woman with hipster clothes appealing to the East Coast American journalists.<ref>[https://youtu.be/cp41QhVEFZQ Propaganda BTFO]</ref> About the sanctions he explains affect mostly the West instead of Russia and that the Ruble is now becoming the PetroRuble.
