RT Update 2 August
Lira apparently never made it across the border. Mark Sleboda, a political analyst and frequent guest on RT, confirmed to the channel that Lira was stopped by Ukrainian border guards and has not been heard from since.

'If you don't hear from me in the next 12 hours - whelp! I'm on my way to a labour camp!'
