Ukrainian suspect hunted by police after Monaco bomb attack was 'disguised as a man'

Key Points:

• Anastasiia Berezovska, a 39-year-old Ukrainian woman disguised as a man, is the main suspect in a parcel bombing in Monaco that seriously injured a sanctioned Ukrainian multi-millionaire Vadym Yermolaiev, his partner, and their 13-year-old son.
• Berezovska allegedly left an explosive package at the entrance of an apartment building before fleeing on foot and then driving through Italy to Germany; an Interpol Red Notice has been issued for her arrest on charges including attempted murder and criminal conspiracy.
• Investigators believe Berezovska spent days surveilling the residence and are searching for possible accomplices, with German police conducting searches of her rented apartment and vehicle in cooperation with Monegasque authorities.
• The victims were hospitalized in Nice, with the man’s condition improving while the woman remains unstable; Yermolaiev, a Cypriot citizen with business interests in Russian-annexed Crimea, has been under Ukrainian sanctions since 2023.
• Monaco’s authorities, including Prince Albert II, condemned the attack as a "heinous crime," and police from Monaco, France, and Germany continue their joint efforts to apprehend Berezovska.
