Ukraine's Prosecutor General Ruslan Kravchenko announced he had held talks with his counterpart in Monaco on Friday regarding a prominent bombing aimed at a Ukrainian-born businessman.

Kravchenko urged creation of a joint investigative team to pursue the case after a major suspect was discovered dead near Ukraine's capital, according to a Telegram statement issued on Tuesday.

"I have assured that Ukraine is open to full cooperation in accordance with international legal procedures. I am counting on the same stance from our partners in the Principality of Monaco," he said.

The development follows a parcel bomb blast on June 29 that wounded three people in the affluent principality, an attack believed to target a Ukrainian-born oligarch. The female suspect, Anastasiia Berezovska, reportedly fled on foot into France, which shares open borders with Monaco, before allegedly driving through several European nations including Italy to reach Germany.

Although an arrest warrant was initially issued, reports from Ukrainska Pravda indicated the woman was shot and her body discovered near 11 p.m. local time on July 3. Ukraine's prosecutor-general's office later confirmed the account.

Two suspects for the bomber's death are in custody

Two individuals linked to Berezovska's killing have already been detained, one an officer with the Main Directorate of Intelligence (HUR) and the other a former law enforcement official, according to Ukrainska Pravda.

The Prosecutor General's Office stated on Thursday that a Kyiv court ordered both suspects held without bail.

Ukrainian media reports from court proceedings noted the HUR employee withdrew his confession, claiming the second defendant fired the shots while he confessed due to fear for his safety.

Berezovska faced charges in Monaco of attempted murder, placing an explosive device in a public place with criminal intent, and criminal conspiracy.

Monaco prosecutor Stephane Thibault said he conducted a video call with Ukrainian prosecutor Ruslan Kravchenko earlier on Friday to share information.

Thibault indicated investigators were examining "all options," with no details yet available on the motive for the bomb or its origin.

Kravchenko emphasized that an international investigative team should be formed promptly.

The initial attack targeted members of the Monaco Jewish community

Cypriot-Ukrainian Vadym Yermolaiev, wounded in the targeted blast, is Jewish and an active participant in the Dnipro Jewish community.

Vadym Yermolaiev, his wife Anna Innokentiivna Yermolaeva, and their 13-year-old son David received hospital treatment after an explosive device detonated at the entrance to their residence.

According to Ukrainska Pravda, both of Yermolaiev's wife's legs were partially severed in the blast, leading doctors to perform a double amputation.

Regional outlets in the Cote d'Azur reported that Yermolaiev suffered burns and shrapnel injuries yet remains conscious. The boy sustained burns and bruises, with a bolt from the device lodged in his leg.
