After a Russian defector pilot was shot down near Benidorm, a Kremlin hit squad is believed to be on the loose in Spain. Following what seems to have been a Kremlin-orchestrated attack, Captain Maksim Kuzminov (left) was discovered full of bullets in an underground car park in Villajoyosa near Alicante earlier this month. By fleeing his homeland last August with a stolen Mi-8 helicopter and landing it in a Ukrainian military airfield, the 28-year-old had become a target of Russian death squads. According to police reports, the pistol used to murder him was Russian and the move is thought to have been a 'calling card,' and it is likely he was killed by a Kremlin hit squad headquartered in Costa Blanca. According to a survey, the same hit team may have been blamed for Sergey Protosenya, 55, who was found hanged after allegedly murdering his wife and teenage daughter (right) with an axe as they slept in 2022.

The 71-year-old president and former KGB spy were shown animated and merrily greeting workers at a factory in Chelyabinsk in the Ural mountains. Despite the shocking news, the Russian emperor - who is on a two-day visit to the area - toured the museum before speaking out and addressing a crowd, apparently unconcerned by rising international outcry. Kremlin spokesperson Dimitry Peskov had already announced that Putin had been warned of the death of his ardent critic, but in a video of the meeting released after the announcement, the Russian leader made no mention of Navalny. Since Putin rarely spoke about Navalny, he made it a point never to mention the activist by name or similar words in an apparent attempt to diminish his importance.
