    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Kuzminov is sharing information about Russia’s communication systems and airfields network with Ukraine’s intelligence service, the agency said.

    The interview with Kuzminov, in which he publicly discussed his defection for the first time, was included in a one-hour documentary titled “Downed Russian Pilots” that was uploaded to YouTube by Ukraine’s defense intelligence earlier this month.

    After months of planning, which included the removal of Kuzminov’s parents from Russia to Ukraine, he finally made his move in August, flying the helicopter at a low altitude in radio silence mode across the border and into Ukrainian territory.

    Two other crew members were on board who were not aware of the defection and when they tried to flee they were “eliminated,” Ukrainian officials told Radio Free Europe in August.

    Ukraine’s defense intelligence said in the documentary that Kuzminov was injured in the final stage of the defection but was quickly treated with medical assistance.

    Footage in the documentary shows the Mi-8 helicopter sitting in a large grass field as Ukrainian service members circle the aircraft and look inside.
