Interpol names Ukrainian woman as suspect in Monaco bombing targeting Russia-linked businessman
What? Interpol issued a Red Notice July 3 for Anastasiia Berezovska, a 39-year-old Ukrainian national, identified via CCTV as having disguised herself as a man while conducting reconnaissance ahead of a remote-detonated bombing that wounded three people, including Ukrainian construction magnate Vadym Yermolaiev — who renounced his Ukrainian citizenship and was sanctioned by Kyiv in 2023 over Russia ties. She remains at large; investigators believe she did not act alone.
So what? A bombing targeting a Russia-linked businessman on European soil, attributed to a Ukrainian national, is a reminder that Russia-Ukraine war-adjacent violence continues to spill into third countries and could implicate sanctioned-individual networks that liaison and financial-intelligence partners track; her being armed, at large, and cross-border-mobile argues for elevated watchlisting attention until she is located.
