The Defense Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine is still in dialogue with several russian pilots. This fact was strongly hinted at by the Chief of the Defense Intelligence, Lieutenant General Kyrylo Budanov, commenting on the successful Sinytsia special operation.
The actions of the russian pilot Kuzminov, who defected to Ukraine with a russian Mi-8 helicopter, may serve as an example for other russian aviators, including those who are still in dialogue.

“We are still engaged in dialogue with several other individuals. The recent events will undoubtedly boost the confidence of those who may still be hesitating,” Lieutenant General Kyrylo Budanov said.
