Summary
Ukraine’s GUR publicly rejected allegations that it helped orchestrate the June 29 bombing attempt on businessman Vadim Ermolaev outside his Monaco home, saying the claims are damaging an active investigation.
Andriy Yusov, a GUR representative, said the agency is cooperating with law enforcement in Monaco and Ukraine, operates within its legal mandate, and is seeking information from Ukrainians who may have relevant evidence.
Ermolaev had accused figures close to the GUR leadership of possible involvement, citing detainees he said had direct links to the agency and warning the case could be covered up because of the service’s influence.
The case widened after Anastasiia Berezovska, the 39-year-old woman identified as the alleged bomb planter, was found shot dead in Ukraine; two men, including alleged GUR agent Vladyslav Reut, are in custody over her killing.
Investigators in both countries are still trying to determine who ordered the Monaco attack and whether additional accomplices were involved.
