Ukrainian Woman Suspected in Monaco Bombing Found Dead Near Kyiv

Ukrainian authorities have confirmed that a woman suspected of involvement in a bombing in Monaco was discovered dead in Ukraine. The body was located near the capital, Kyiv, and showed gunshot wounds to the head, according to Ukraine’s Security Service. The discovery was first reported by the local newspaper Ukrainska Pravda and later verified by the prosecutor general’s office.
The woman has been identified as Anastasiia Berezovska, a Ukrainian national. She was suspected of planting a parcel bomb that targeted a wealthy Ukrainian‑born businessman in Monaco last week. The explosion injured the businessman, who is described by some outlets as a millionaire with ties to Russia.
Following the blast, police had been hunting Berezovska as part of their investigation into the attack. Ukraine’s Security Service announced her death on Tuesday, stating that she was found with gunshot wounds. The prosecutor general’s office subsequently confirmed the recovery of the body and said that an employee had been detained in connection with the case, though details of the detention were not disclosed.
Some reports have suggested that the killing appeared to be carried out by a Ukrainian spy, but this claim remains unverified and is presented only as a possibility raised by certain outlets. No official statement has endorsed that version of events.
The incident adds a new layer to the investigation into the Monaco bombing, which had already drawn attention due to the high‑profile nature of the victim and the cross‑border implications. Authorities have indicated that they continue to examine the circumstances surrounding both the blast and the woman’s death.
At this stage, no further actions or outcomes have been specified in the available reports. The prosecutor general’s office is expected to pursue its inquiry, but any subsequent developments have not yet been confirmed by the sources consulted.
