Anastasiia Berezovska was wanted over the explosion targeting Ukrainian-born oligarch Vadim Ermolaev, 58.

According to sources in the investigation speaking to Ukrainian news outlet Pravda, police discovered the 39-year-old’s body in Kyiv, at around 11pm on Monday night. She had been shot.

Berezovska was wanted on suspicion of attempted murder, placing an explosive device on a public road with criminal intent, and criminal conspiracy.

Investigators said a device, concealed within a bag, was detonated remotely once the intended victims were in range near their apartment in Monaco.

Two suspects were detained after her body was discovered, including a serving military intelligence officer, said the Pravda news outlet, citing a law enforcement source.

An old mafia tactic.....kill the killer so there is no way to trace back to who really wanted someone dead.

Or in this case, attempted killer. Which would be another reason to take her out.....she failed.

I think it works for the Clintons, too.

He was a real estate developer in central Ukraine on the outs with the Ukrainian government because he did business in Russian-held Crimea.

--- "Dead women tell no tales."

In an oddly related and ongoing case, one of the Ukrainians accused of destroying the Nord Stream pipeline is on trial in Germany. Not so much US media coverage in the moment, but....

"German federal ‌prosecutors ⁠have filed ⁠charges ​against a ​Ukrainian ​national ‌over a series of Nord ‌Stream pipeline blasts in September 2022, ‌German ​media reported on Wednesday.

"Public broadcaster ARD and newspapers Süddeutsche Zeitung and Zeit named the accused as Serhii K. , who was detained in Italy on a German arrest warrant in August 2025 and extradited to Germany.

"The 50-year-old Ukrainian soldier from Kyiv is accused of leading a team of seven accomplices in the operation which destroyed three of four key Nord Stream gas pipelines in the Baltic Sea.

"The pipelines transported Russian gas to Europe, but were not in use at the time.

"K. is also accused of attacking civil energy infrastructure, considered a war crime under international law, as well as causing an explosion and destroying infrastructure, German media reported."

Source: Germany: Ukrainian national charged over Nord Stream blasts Deutsche Welle ( with Reuters and ARD ), 1 July 2026

Ukrainian press had a different and earlier slant, noting:

"A former Ukrainian officer, Serhii Kuznietsov, spends his days in near-total isolation at Hamburg's detention center. He is accused by Germany of destroying Russia's Nord Stream gas pipelines months after the start of the all-out war." more....

Source: In Germany, Ukrainian veteran's role in Nord Stream attack tests wartime law Kyiv Independent, 16 February 2026

London's BBC adds another facet to this ongoing narrative:

"Many Ukrainians consider whoever destroyed Nord Stream to be heroes for taking out an important revenue source for Russia, and struggle to understand why Germany - a key ally of Ukraine - is pursuing this prosecution.

"Germany is Ukraine's biggest source of European military aid."

Ukrainian charged in Germany over Nord Stream blasts BBC, 1 July 2026

Given a Ukrainian gal ends up dead in Ukrainian after a Monaco bombing, one imagines that "K" has quite a future ahead of him. DW adds:

"German prosecutors believe the Ukrainian national suspected of sabotaging Baltic Sea gas pipelines in 2022 acted 'on the orders of state authorities in Ukraine'."

Nord Stream blast ordered by Ukraine, say German prosecutors Deutsche Welle, 2 July 2026.

LOL, Ukraine attacked a legitimate military target in international waters, which was not being used, but according to you it should have more media coverage. Okay

The tattoo may have started as a snake but became a plesiosaurus years ago.
