She tried to blow up a millionaire in Monaco. Days later, she was dead

Key Points:

• Ukrainian millionaire Vadym Yermolaiev was seriously injured by a bomb planted at his Monaco apartment on June 29; the attacker was identified as Anastasiia Berezovska, a Ukrainian woman with no known motive or criminal record.
• Berezovska meticulously scouted Yermolaiev’s residence before the attack, fleeing across multiple countries before returning to Ukraine, where she was found dead in a shallow grave a week later.
• Two men, Vladyslav Reut, a Ukrainian Defense Intelligence officer, and former law enforcement officer Vitaliy Zhykovych, were implicated in Berezovska’s murder; both allegedly communicated with her and paid her between 6,000 and 7,000 euros.
• Yermolaiev denies involvement in illegal activities linked to his son and rejects theories that his family ordered the attack, suggesting Berezovska was a pawn in a larger, unknown conspiracy.
• The investigation remains unresolved regarding who masterminded the bombing, with authorities suspecting Berezovska acted as a paid operative and was killed to prevent testimony against higher-level figures.
