Russian deserter allegedly killed in Spain on behalf of Moscow. Investigators suspect one of the Russian secret services was behind the crime.

Diplomatic circles demanded that Spain “react energetically” if Moscow’s involvement in the case was confirmed. Kuzminov flew to Ukraine in his Mi-8 helicopter in August and spoke out against the Russian military offensive. The 33-year-old's alleged body was found on February 13th in Villajoyosa, southern Spain.
