⚡Russia’s spy boss on Tuesday said a pilot who defected to Ukraine with a military helicopter and then reportedly shot dead in Spain was a “moral corpse”. Maxim Kuzminov flew his Mi-8 helicopter into Ukraine in August in a brazen operation, saying he opposed Russia’s military offensive. Reports in Spanish media said Kuzminov was found shot dead in the southern town of Villajoyosa last week, where he had moved after receiving Ukrainian citizenship for switching sides. A spokesperson for Ukraine’s main intelligence directorate later confirmed that Kuzminov had died without providing further details, Ukrainian media reported. “This traitor and criminal became a moral corpse at the very moment when he planned his dirty and terrible crime,” Russian state news agencies quoted Sergei Naryshkin, the head of Russia’s SVR foreign intelligence service, as saying Tuesday. 4 Likes

Earlier this month, US Senator Ben Cardin, Democrat of Maryland and chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, raised the possibility of sanctions against Hungary for its behavior and called Orban "the least reliable member of NATO."
