Monaco bombing pulls Ukraine's intel agencies into a murky murder case

A Monaco blast that injured a Ukrainian oligarch is now linked to the murder of the bomber suspect in Ukraine, with two men including a former Kyiv police officer accused of killing Anastasiia Berezovska. The SBU says Berezovska’s body was found after the suspects confessed and that evidence points to Kyiv’s military intelligence, while officials stress the two men acted alone. The case has raised questions about tensions between Ukraine’s security agencies (SBU and GUR) and prompted scrutiny from European leaders about accountability, even as Zelensky pledges to provide more information.

Monaco bombing case takes deadly turn as suspect found dead near Kyiv

Two men were arrested in connection with the case, including a serving Ukrainian military intelligence officer; Interpol had issued a red notice for Berezovska. Investigators allege she received cryptocurrency payments from the suspects and that searches uncovered a blood‑stained “torture chamber” at their properties. Berezovska allegedly disguised herself as a man to plant the device in Monaco and fled across Europe.”,

Monaco bombing suspect unmasked as Ukrainian woman in disguise

The main suspect in Monaco’s bombing is 39-year-old Anastasiia Berezovska, a Ukrainian woman who dressed as a man; she’s named in an Interpol Red Notice after the attack that wounded a Ukrainian-born tycoon and others. Prosecutors say the suspect fled to France and then Italy in a German-registered car, with two men previously arrested in Monaco later released for lack of evidence. The bomb’s sophistication suggests more than one perpetrator, as investigations continue into who planned and carried out the attack in Monaco’s highly secure capital.

Monaco blast injures Ukrainian oligarch Vadym Yermolaiev and family as investigators hunt a lone suspect

A makeshift bomb exploded at the entrance of a residential building in central Monaco, injuring three people including Ukrainian-born oligarch Vadym Yermolaiev, his partner and their 13-year-old son. The suspect fled on foot and is being pursued; authorities say terrorism is not the motive. Some reports suggest the attack could be a warning related to Yermolaiev’s Crimea-linked sanctions and business dealings, while others point to his son’s fraud investigations. Yermolaiev, who has lived in Monaco since 2021, denies collaborating with Russia, and investigators continue to pursue the perpetrator.
