Do you still remember the defection of a Russian pilot in August last year, and the follow-up to this incident has come recently. The defected Russian soldier was shot dead in Spain, his body was riddled with bullet holes, and his whereabouts are unknown.

According to the Observer, the Russian pilot Maxim Kuzminov, who defected to Ukraine in the Mi-8*** in August last year, has the latest news. He died last week in an underground garage in Spain and was found "with bullet holes," according to a Feb. 19** report. Subsequently, this information was confirmed by a spokesman for the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine. In addition, according to a number of foreign media reports, on February 13, local time, a male body full of bullet holes was found in an underground garage in the town of Villayosa near Alicante in southern Spain. The real identity of the man was not revealed, but a source revealed that the man used a false identity to operate in Spain. Ukraine also said on the 19th that the man was none other than Maxim Kuzminov, a Russian soldier who defected last year. Others said more specifically, Kuzminov was shot 12 times in his body, and there were traces of being run over by a car.

It can be said that Kuzminov died a very tragic death, and in general, such scenes have only been seen in film and television dramas. So, who was he killed? This is the most important concern of people. It is reported that Kuzminov colluded with Ukrainian intelligence agencies in August 2023 to carry out a covert operation, driving a Mi-8 transport*** to defect to the territory of Ukraine, and then brutally killed two other comrades in the crew. He later admitted that the purpose of this was to gain a new identity and money. After the incident, the Russian top brass was immediately outraged, and at the same time, the defection of the military also caused an uproar around the world. He committed such a heinous act that he naturally became the target of Russia's global want. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that his death is related to Russian intelligence, since the whole world knows Russia's methods of punishing traitors.

First of all, Kuzminov's actions were the first and only recorded defection of the Russian army after the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. This is not only a betrayal of the Russian state and army, but also has a very bad impact within the Russian army, which may shake the morale of the military and even mislead other Russian military personnel to follow suit. Therefore, the Russian side will definitely find ways to find Kuzminov and give him a "just trial". This is not only a punishment for Kuzminov's crimes, but also a warning to the Russian army. From this point of view, there are good reasons for the Russian side to take action.

Secondly, Russia's intelligence services are very famous, and in the past, the intelligence capabilities of the KGB ** were world-famous, and the KGB was synonymous with "ruthlessness". At present, Russia's intelligence agencies mainly have the following departments: one is the Federal Liaison and Intelligence Bureau, the other is the First Bureau, and the other is called the Federal Foreign Intelligence Service, and the most powerful is the General Military Intelligence Directorate under the General Staff of the Russian Army, which is what we often call the "GRU", which is mainly responsible for overseas activities. With so many "stubble", how is it possible to let Kuzminov go unpunished, that is basically nowhere to escape. Therefore, the Russian side is not only "famous", but also capable of doing this. However, some analysts believe that it is not necessary for the Russians to "do it themselves" to do this kind of thing, and it cannot be ruled out that Russia will "buy" some "forces" in Spain to solve this matter, which can better avoid triggering a diplomatic crisis.

However, in view of the recent mysterious deaths of Russian "villains", there are also a few voices that believe that Kuzminov's death was the work of Western intelligence services. The purpose is to make Russia "bear the blame", carry out negative propaganda against Russia, and engage in information warfare, ** warfare, and cognitive warfare, which are what the United States and the West are most enthusiastic about. In particular, Russia is about to usher in **, and the timing is very sensitive. However, this probability is very low, first of all, the death of negative figures such as Kuzminov is a good thing for the Russian population and will not affect Russia's **. Secondly, Russia's image in the international community has been "demonized" by the West, and killing a few more people like defectors will not change anything.
