🚁Stole Mi-8 and defected to Ukraine: russian pilot Kuzminov is preparing documents to apply for Ukrainian citizenship, - GUR Russian pilot Maxim Kuzminov, who hijacked the Mi-8 helicopter and flew it to Ukrainian territory, shared details of the operation. The pilot was subscribed to the GUR's Telegram channel and decided to start an anonymous chat with intelligence representatives. This marked the beginning of the special operation "Synytsia (Tit)." The operation had been planned for about six months, during which they worked out routes. When the pilot crossed the Ukrainian border in the Kharkiv region, he felt that gunfire from small arms was opened on the helicopter. There were also other representatives of the russian Armed Forces on board, but after landing on Ukrainian territory, they ran towards the russian border.

Real world effects being felt now by Ukraine’s front line troops as U.S. Congress dawdles and refuses to send weapons and badly needed ammunition. Unconscionable.
