The guys at The Duran never gave up hope and kept their audience on track by refusing to pass along rumors of his death or speculations about what happened. They kept saying they would wait until they had facts.
Earlier today Gonzalo was able to contact The Duran's Alex Christoforou, who posted a video of the four-minute conversation.

Moon of Alabama has a summary of the conversation:
MoA - Ukraine - Gonzalo Lira, War Aims, Railway Supplies And Incoming Fire (moonofalabama.org)
Gonzalo Lira is alive
Lira had been arrested on April 15 by the SBU, the Ukrainian Gestapo, but is now at some private place in Kharkov under a kind of house arrest. He is not allowed to leave the city. It seems that the public attention the case had caught has helped to hold back the nastier side of the Ukrainian authorities. Last night Alex Christoforou of The Duran published a short video talk with Gonzalo Lira (vid).
