 Russian pilot who flew Mi-8 helicopter to Ukraine will get half a million dollars. Russian Mi-8 helicopter pilot Maxim Kuzminov-28 is to receive a $500,000 reward in Herunias, the national currency of Ukraine. Ukrainian intelligence is urging other Russians to follow his example. Andrey Yusov, a representative of Ukraine's defense intelligence, said this. He will receive it in the national currency, of course. There is an official law signed by the president of Ukraine in April 2022 on appropriate compensation when a person switches to Ukraine's side and brings Russian equipment with them. Ukraine is a democratic constitutional state. We deliver on our commitments and we adhere to international law. So once again, those Russians who do not want to become war criminals, please give yourselves up, switch to Ukraine's side, protect your own dignity and conscience, and fight against Putin's regime. Andrey Yusov added. It should be noted that on 23 August it was revealed that an Mi-8 helicopter of the Russian armed forces had ended up in Ukraine as a result of a long-term special operation by Ukraine's defense intelligence. The pilot and his family are in Ukraine, his family having left Russia in advance. The Mi-8 has stayed in Ukraine as have the fighter jet components it was supposed to be delivering to the Russians. Thank you for watching.
