Suspected Monaco Bomber Found Shot Dead Near Kyiv

Police in Ukraine have confirmed that the body of Anastasiia Berezovska, a Ukrainian woman sought in connection with a bomb attack in Monaco, was found near the capital Kyiv. The discovery was first reported by the newspaper Ukrainska Pravda and later verified by Ukraine’s prosecutor general’s office, which said the victim had sustained gunshot wounds.

Berezovska had been the focus of a manhunt after a blast in Monaco last week that injured a wealthy Ukrainian‑born businessman described by several outlets as a millionaire with links to Russia. French and British media identified the device as a parcel bomb placed in Monaco, while the Daily Maverick noted the attack targeted a prominent Ukrainian‑born business figure.

According to the BBC, police had been pursuing Berezovska following the explosion, which left the businessman wounded. Sky News and France 24 both reported that the suspect was believed to have carried out the bombing, and that her body was discovered with signs of gunfire.

The prosecutor general’s office told France 24 that, in addition to confirming the recovery of the body, authorities had also detained an employee in relation to the investigation. The office did not specify the employee’s role or affiliation, and no further details about the detention were provided in the reports.

Analysts note that the Monaco incident raised concerns about cross‑border violence involving Ukrainian nationals and individuals with Russian ties. The reports do not disclose a motive for the bombing or any possible connections between the suspect and the detained employee.

Ukrainian officials say they are continuing to examine the circumstances surrounding Berezovska’s death and the broader investigation into the Monaco bombing. No additional arrests or developments have been mentioned in the source material beyond the confirmation of the body’s recovery and the detention of an employee.
