Neue Erkenntnisse zum Mordanschlag in Monaco

A former commander of Kyiv's elite brigade has been arrested over the murder of two brothers, according to reports from German media outlets. The incident involves a complex chain of events spanning multiple countries, with implications for both Ukrainian security and international relations. The case began on June 29, 2026, when an explosion near the home of a wealthy businessman in Monaco injured him, his partner, and their 13-year-old son. The attack was traced back to a woman named Anastasia Beresowska, who had previously lived in Ukraine before fleeing to Germany. Her body was discovered in a forest near Kyjiw on July 6, raising suspicions of foul play. Investigators believe she had planned the attack over time, using surveillance footage to monitor her targets. She placed a backpack containing explosives at the entrance of the house and detonated it remotely via mobile phone. After the blast, she left the area, eventually returning to Germany before traveling to Ukraine. Anastasia Beresowska had moved to Germany as a refugee from Ukraine, living with her son in Hofheim, near Frankfurt. They led a modest life, receiving social benefits and learning the language. Before relocating, she resided in the village of Horodyschtsche, where her mother lives, and later in Shytomyr. Details about her profession remain unclear. A relative revealed that approximately a week prior to the attack, she sent her seven-year-old son to stay with his grandmother in Ukraine. She herself traveled south, and video footage captured her driving near the crime scene on June 26. Following the explosion, Beresowska fled the Cote d'Azur region and returned to Germany. However, she did not stay long. On July 1, she boarded a bus heading to Ukraine and arrived in Horodyschtsche. During this time, police in Monaco identified a person wearing dark clothing, suspected of being a man posing as a woman. Further analysis of camera footage led investigators to suspect a large woman with a snake tattoo on her shoulder. Her car was found in Germany, prompting a search of her vacant apartment by local authorities. On July 3, Monaco’s security chief, Eric Arella, presented a photo of Beresowska during a press conference, identifying her as the suspect and placing her on an international wanted list. At that point, she was likely already dead. Meanwhile, two men with connections to Ukrainian intelligence services were detained under suspicion of involvement in her death. Their arrest could lead to life imprisonment and potentially cause an international scandal for Ukraine. Both suspects, Wladyslaw Reut and Witalij Schykowytsch, have links to Ukrainian intelligence. Their exact roles in the case remain under investigation, though they are believed to have played a part in Beresowska’s death. The arrests highlight ongoing tensions within Ukraine’s security apparatus and raise questions about internal corruption or collusion. As the investigation continues, officials are expected to provide more details on how the suspects are connected to the case and whether further arrests will follow. The situation underscores the complexity of cross-border criminal investigations and the challenges faced by law enforcement agencies in tracking individuals moving between countries.
