In response to this, the spokesman of the Ukrainian military intelligence, Andriy Yusov, said that it was only Russian propaganda to cover up cases of desertion from the Russian army. In some cases, officers went astray even with military equipment.

In September, Russian pilot Maxim Kuzminov flew a Mi-8 helicopter over Ukraine but handed it over to the Ukrainian forces, who coordinated the escape with him.
Before the desertion, he secretly vyshtahoval with his Russian family. The Ukrainian government awarded him a reward of half a million dollars.
After the publication of Kuzminov’s blunder, the representatives of the Ukranian Rozviedka claimed that they had already noticed an increase in the occupiers’ interest in the blunder through a special hotline. (Kyiv Independent)
