A Russian pilot, Maxim Kuzminov, who defected to Ukraine with his helicopter last year, was found dead last week in an underground garage in Spain, according to Ukrainian and Spanish media.

He had been living in Spain with a Ukrainian passport under a different name, it said.

"I want to clarify that it's a case under investigation, so we cannot provide more information at this time. We must wait for the police to do their work so the investigation can go forward," Spanish Government Spokesperson Pilar Alegria said on Tuesday.
