A RUSSIAN PILOT WHO DEFECTED TO UKRAINE SAID HIS HELICOPTER CREW PANICKED WHEN
THEY REALISED WHAT WAS HAPPENING BUT COULDN'T STOP HIM AS HE WAS THE ONLY ONE
WHO COULD FLY IT

 * A Russian pilot defected and brought his helicopter to Ukraine last month,
   Ukrainian officials said.

 * The pilot said his crew couldn't stop him as he was the only one on board who
   knew how to fly it.

 * He told journalists the crew panicked and fled. Ukrainian officials said both
   were killed.

A Russian pilot who reportedly defected and brought over his helicopter said his
crew panicked when they figured out what was happening, but they couldn't do
anything as he was the only person on board who could fly it.

Ukrainian officials said a six-month plot led to the Russian Mi-8 AMTSh landing
at a military air base in Kharkiv, in northeast Ukraine, last month.

Ukraine's Defense Intelligence identified the pilot as Maksym Kuzminov, a
28-year-old former captain in Russia's 319th separate helicopter regiment.



The pilot spoke at a press conference on Tuesday where he described panic among
the other Russians on board, The Daily Beast reported.

"There were two crew members with me. We didn't have any weapons, our pilots fly
without weapons," he said.

"Nobody could put up any resistance," he added, because no one else on board
knew how to fly the helicopter.

"I was calming the guys down, I told them everything was fine, that good people
live here and everything will be great. But they started to get scared and
behave themselves a bit aggressively, and they ran from the helicopter toward
the border," he said.

The head of Ukraine's intelligence agency, Kyrylo Budanov, previously told Radio
Free Europe that the other two crew members on board were not aware Kuzminov was
defecting, and they were "eliminated" when they tried to flee.

They had refused to surrender, Ukrainian officials said.

The pilot previously said he abandoned the Russian military to avoid being part
of what he named the "genocide of the Ukrainian people."

On Tuesday he said other Russian troops should also defect so as to not "enable
these crimes."

The pilot is now seeking to join Ukraine's aviation operations, The Beast
reported.

He said in a previous video released by Ukraine's Defense Intelligence that
"Ukraine will unequivocally win this war" because its people were united.

Kuzminov earlier said that his family was smuggled out of Russia before his
defection took place.
