The American newspaper New York Times writes about this. “The killers not only shot him six times in a garage in southern Spain, but also drove over his body in their car,” the material follows. As reported by IA Regnum, the Spanish newspaper ABC reported that on February 13, Kuzminov’s body was allegedly discovered in Villajoyosa. The body had bullet wounds; the deceased was lying on the garage ramp. Spanish police officers have confirmed the death of a defector who hijacked a Russian Mi-8 military helicopter in 2023. According to Kuzminov’s father, he feels more sorry for the crew of the Mi-8 helicopter, which died at the hands of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, than for his own son. The man noted that those with whom his son served saw him as a colleague, but he changed over trifles, betraying his homeland and loved ones. Director of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service Sergei Naryshkin said that pilot Maxim Kuzminov became a moral corpse even when he was planning his crime. The hijacking of a Russian Mi-8 military helicopter by Kuzminov became known in August 2023. The FSB opened a criminal case under the article of high treason. According to the pilot, he received $500,000 (48.7 million rubles) from Kyiv for betrayal.
