Thieves, no matter how far away, must be killed. Maxim Kuzminov, a Russian pilot who fled Ukraine in August this year, was killed in Spain.

The first to be ** by this news was the Ukrainian side. Andrei Yusov, spokesman for the Ukrainian intelligence agency, confirmed on the 19th of this month that Kuzminov's body was found in Spain and confirmed dead.

The event was also reported by news agencies in Spain. The body was reportedly found in a residential complex in the municipality of Villajoyosa, in the province of Alicante, Spain. He died a miserable death, was shot twelve times in his body, and was hit by a car. Police found a charred car in nearby Cambello, which was most likely a crime tool that the killer had discarded before escaping. The report also revealed that Kuzminov had been drinking and taking drugs lately.

The Ukrainian military intelligence service revealed that Kuzminov's death was due to his personal affairs without permission: "He didn't want to stay in Ukraine, so he chose Spain." According to what we have received, he took his wife into his home after he had been killed, and she was killed. ”

On August 23, 2023, the Ukrainian Intelligence Service announced a military plan called "", which has already made Kuzminov, the pilot of the **Army Aviation and the commander of the Mi-8*** who "abandoned the darkness and turned to the light", a role model for the Russian people.

After Kuzminov surrendered, the Ukrainian side gave him a bonus of 500,000 US dollars and made a propaganda about him, hoping that more people would join the Ukrainian army in order to undermine the confidence of the Russians.

Kuzminov defected with his troops, which naturally angered the ** people. In an interview with a Russian television station, the Russian special forces GRU said that GRU had been given a wanted warrant for Kuzminov, because he had betrayed his comrades and friends, so he had to die.

Until now, Russia has not responded to the news of Kuzminov's death. As for whether Kuzminov was raped by the GRU, it is impossible to know. However, two major questions remain about Kuzminov's death:

First, the age is not right. According to Spanish officials, the number of dead is 33, while Kuzminov is 28. However, it cannot be completely ruled out that Kuzminov used false personal information to disguise himself after his retirement from Spain.

Second, the fact that someone from the Ukrainian intelligence department deliberately revealed this matter is very suspicious in itself. The Ukrainian military intelligence service promised Kuzminov the best protection, and now that he died suddenly in Spain, the intelligence services naturally have to take responsibility. Although military intelligence said that Kuzminov went to Spain without permission and that it was his wife who revealed his whereabouts, the Ukrainian side clearly did not fulfill its duties, giving the impression that Kuzminov had lost the meaning of use, like a discarded shoe.

As for the latter, some military enthusiasts even speculate that Kuzminov's death is most likely a "smokescreen" for Ukrainian spies. In fact, Kuzminov may have undergone plastic surgery, changed to a new pair of documents, and lived somewhere in the world. In a certain sense, declaring that Kuzminov is "dead" is the greatest personal guarantee for him.
