Spain Feb. 13 (Reuters) -- The body of a man was found on a parking ramp under an apartment building in the town of Villajoyosa, a small city along the Mediterranean Sea in Spain. The body was riddled with bullet holes and marks of being run over by a car.
An investigation by the local government in Spain found that two unidentified gunmen fired a total of 12 shots at the man, and then drove over him.
* The man who was shot was found to be a 33-year-old Ukrainian national.
* Traced the two gunmen to the vicinity of the town of El Campello, 20 kilometers away, and found the car that had run over the body, but it had been burned.
Then, the trail was interrupted.
Since there is no trace of robbery at all, in the opinion of **, this will be another case of gangster vendetta without result.
Spain** then contacted the Ukrainian embassy in Spain to confirm the identity of the deceased. As a result, the Ukrainian embassy in Spain could not find the identity of the deceased, and it turned out that the identity of the man who was shot was fake.
As a result, the gangster vendetta case originally investigated by ** became a case in charge of the Spanish intelligence agency, and its nature changed.
On February 19, local time, the Spanish intelligence agency released the latest investigation results after the investigation, and the 33-year-old man who was killed by two unidentified gunmen with 12 shots was not a Ukrainian, but a former Russian soldier and a traitor to the Russian army.
He is hereMaxim Kuzminov, a pilot of the Russian Air Force who defected to Ukraine in an Mi-8** in August 2023.
At that time, Kuzminov, who was living in a small Spanish town under a false identity, invited his "ex-girlfriend" to his residence for a party, only to find out that he had been shot.
In 1995, 4 years after Ukraine's independence from the Soviet Union, Kuzminov was born in the city of Lviv in western Ukraine. In 2000, at the age of 5, Kuzminov moved to Russia with his parents, where he was educated and raised**.
Later, he joined the Russian army and became a *** pilot in the Russian Aerospace Forces.
Kuzminov ignored the requirements of the Russian army's military discipline, and began to secretly use software and ** prohibited by the Russian army in 2021, and got in touch with Ukrainian intelligence.
After the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian military conflict in early 2022, Kuzminov undertook the task of transporting equipment and accessories to fighters used by the front-line troops of the Russian army on the Russian-Ukrainian border. At this time,Ukrainian intelligence offered $500,000 and foreign citizenship in exchange for Kuzminov's defection.
Kuzminov agreed,Ukrainian intelligence transferred Kuzminov's family out of Russia ahead of schedule under the guise of a vacation.
On August 9, 2023, Kuzminov began implementing his defection plan.
Because at 4:30 p.m. that day, he and two comrades-in-arms were going to carry out a daily mission, taking off from the Kursk airfield and transporting some parts of Su-27 and Su-30SM fighters with Mi-8*** to a front-line air base.
During the flight,Kuzminov killed two of his comrades first with a pre-hidden **, and then lowered the flight altitude to avoid the Russian military surveillance radar when flying near the Ukrainian border, and flew into an air base of the Ukrainian army in the Kharkiv region more than 20 kilometers from Ukraine, where it successfully rendezvoused with Ukrainian intelligence.
Kuzminov completed his defection by killing two of his comrades. Moreover, he also sent Ukraine, especially NATO and the United States behind Ukraine, some new electronic equipment newly installed on the Russian Mi-8, secret documents of the Russian army, and accessories for Russian fighters Su-27 and Su-30SM fightersAs a "letter of surrender" for his surrender.
In September 2023, Kuzminov made a public and high-profile appearance at a specially held press conference in Ukraine, saying that when two of his comrades-in-arms found out that he had landed *** in Ukraine, they immediately rushed out of the plane and wanted to escape to Russia, but were shot dead on the spot by the Ukrainian army.
Of course, this statement is a lie, one is that it is more than 20 kilometers away from the border and surrounded by Ukrainian troops, how can they run? The second is that it is impossible for the Ukrainian army to shoot, because a living Russian pilot is much more valuable than a dead one.
At the press conference, Kuzminov also directly called on Russia and the Russian army, demanding to "surrender" the United States and the West, and also claimed that he would join the Ukrainian Air Force.
Of course, he did not join the Ukrainian Air Force, but took a false identity given to him by Ukrainian intelligence and went to live in a small coastal town in Spain.
At that time, the Russian Air Force pilot Kuzminov made a lot of hype in the United States and the West, which not only became a huge encouragement to Ukraine, but even became a evidence and a symbol of the so-called victory of Ukraine and Russia's defeat.
After Kuzminov killed two Russian pilots in a plane and defected to Ukraine, the attitude of the Main Directorate of Military Intelligence of the Russian General Staff was that "his crimes are always time-barred, and he will never live to stand trial." According to a Russian media report at the time, it was said that the Russian special forces received an order to hunt down Kuzminov at that time.
And Russia's ** Putin made it clear in a previous interviewHe can forgive many people and things, but he will never forgive traitors.
At present, Russia does not admit that they were responsible for the assassination, but instead accuses it of being carried out by Ukrainian intelligence in order to blame Russia.
So, Russia and Ukraine, who assassinated Kuzminov, the traitor?
Of course, both Russia and Ukraine are currently possible, and neither can be ruled out, and both have a strong motive to kill Kuzminov.
For Russia, to kill Kuzminov that isHoe rape, that is revenge for the two Russian pilots killed by Kuzminov, in defense of Russia's ***
For Ukraine, Kuzminov has lost his reusable value after defecting, but the dead Kuzminov still has value to be extracted, that is, to plant the blame for Russia, and use the so-called transnational assassination justification to smear Russia in the international waveKill somebody to do away with a witness.
Because there is information that Ukraine has not cashed in the $500,000 reward to Kuzminov.
So, who do you think Kuzminov will kill?
In fact, it no longer matters who assassinated Kuzminov at the moment of his death, the important thing is that he proved a most basic truth with his own lifeThat is, a traitor cannot end well!
Choosing to betray the country is choosing death, which should be one of the most simple truths.
So, those who want to betray the country have to think clearly, whether you get $500,000 or $50 million or even $500 million for betraying the country,The first is do you have a life flower? The second is, even if you are incognito, can you get rid of the panic that cannot be spent all day?
Not to mention that you won't get that money at all!
The greatest value that Kuzminov has brought to the world is: the traitor will die!
