A Ukrainian woman linked to a parcel bombing in Monaco was killed, leaving a mystery as two men, one a defence officer, face charges.

The UK‑monitored package bomb that injured a Ukrainian multimillionaire in Monaco on June 29 has ended in tragedy. Ukrainian police discovered the 39‑year‑old suspect, Anastasiia Berezovska, dead with gunshot wounds to the head. A cross‑border manhunt that saw multiple chases in the city culminated in the arrest of two men, including a minister‑of‑defence officer, now charged with murder. Investigations are ongoing as Ukraine's security services dig deeper into the motive and connections.

The 39‑year‑old Anastasiia Berezovska was believed to have fled Monaco after placing a bomb in an apartment building’s entrance hall on 29 June. The blast injured a sanctioned Ukrainian multimillionaire and his family.

While the police pursued her across borders, her body was discovered in Ukraine with clear gunshot wounds to the head. Officials report that the suspect was killed during the chase.

Investigators detained two men in connection with the killing, one of whom is a current officer in Ukraine’s ministry of defence. Both are under investigation for murder.

The case has prompted spokesmen to call for a thorough probe into the motives behind the attack and the involvement of state actors. Updates are expected as the investigation continues.
