Monaco Bombing: Dramatic Footage Reveals Assassination Attempt on Property Mogul
The Explosive Moment Captured on Camera
Traveloasisspot.com – Stunning video imagery has emerged showing the precise instant when a female bomber positioned an explosive device adjacent to an upscale residential building in Monaco. The device subsequently detonated mere seconds after its placement, creating a devastating blast that injured multiple individuals.
The incident occurred on June 29, resulting in serious injuries to prominent real estate businessman Vadym Ermolaev, his romantic partner, and their thirteen-year-old child. The dramatic sequence was captured by surveillance equipment and later obtained by Ukraine’s Security Service, providing unprecedented insight into what appears to have been a botched assassination attempt.
The recovered footage depicts the attacker, identified as thirty-nine-year-old Ukrainian national Anastasiia Berezovska, carefully positioning a bag directly outside the entrance of the luxury apartment complex. After placing the device, she calmly walked away from the scene. At approximately the same moment, Ermolaev and his family were approaching the building entrance. The attacker turned to observe them approaching before a massive explosion erupted.
Investigation and Evidence Recovery
In the immediate aftermath of the blast, the bomber retrieved the very camera that had been recording the incident and quickly departed from the location. This detail proved crucial to understanding the full scope of the operation.
Following the explosion, both Ermolaev and his forty-six-year-old mistress, Anna Nasobina, sustained severe burns. Ms. Nasobina’s injuries were particularly grave, requiring the amputation of both her legs. Their young son also sustained wounds during the incident.
Ukraine’s prosecutor general, Ruslan Kravchenko, revealed that the surveillance footage was captured by a camera that had been specifically installed by the perpetrators to verify that the bombing had been successfully executed. Ukrainian authorities reported that the would-be assassin attempted to delete the recording following the attack, but investigators managed to recover the valuable clip.
“Urgent investigative and procedural actions are actively ongoing to obtain new evidence in the case of an attempted murder in the Principality of Monaco.”
“Thanks to the professional work of the specialists of the Security Service of Ukraine, one of the key pieces of evidence, which the suspects tried to destroy, was successfully restored.”
Aftermath and Arrests
Interpol identified Ms. Berezovska as the primary suspect in the bombing. However, she was discovered deceased near Kyiv on July 6, merely days following the Monaco explosion. Ukrainian authorities subsequently arrested two men who are suspected of being responsible for her death.
Vladyslav Reut, an officer serving with GUR, Ukraine’s military intelligence agency, and Vitalii Zhykovych, a former agent of the SBU, Ukraine’s security service, have both been taken into custody and charged with murder.
Mr. Ermolaev has expressed certainty that “serving officers of the main intelligence directorate of the military of defence of Ukraine” were behind the coordinated bombing. In a statement issued through his legal representatives, he noted that the explosion was “powerful enough to tear apart steel railings and destroy the stone steps outside our home.”
He characterized his partner’s injuries as “catastrophic and irreversible,” while describing his son’s condition as involving “burns, fractures and severe trauma.” Mr. Ermolaev stated that he remains in intensive care and is only beginning his extended recovery journey. He emphasized that this was not merely a warning but rather “an attempt to kill not only me, but my family as well.”
While Mr. Ermolaev has not yet presented concrete evidence demonstrating that the agency’s leadership had authorized or approved the attack, Ukraine’s military intelligence organization has formally denied these allegations.
