Victim of Monaco Bombing, Vadim Ermolaev Says He Has ‘No Doubt’ Attack Was Carried Out by Ukrainian Intelligence

Kiev was behind the terror bomb in Monaco, says Ermolaev.

About two weeks after his family was targeted by a backpack bomb left on the doorsteps of his Monaco mansion, Ukrainian oligarch Vadim Ermolaiev (another transliteration would be Vadym Yermolayev) sent out a statement, and added pressure on Kiev regime, as he points to the Ukrainian intelligence service as being behind the attack.

This was the first terrorist attack in the history of Monaco, and the businessman sanctioned by Kiev said there is ‘no doubt’ that serving officers of the main intelligence directorate of the military of defense of Ukraine, GUR, are involved in the attempt on his life.

The Telegraph reported:

“The property magnate was approaching his building with his long-term partner and their 13-year-old son when explosives hidden in a backpack at the threshold of the lobby were detonated on the evening of June 29.”

Ermolaev’s partner lost both feet, while his son sustained ‘burns, fractures and severe trauma’.

“’I remain in intensive care and am only now beginning the long process of recovery’, he added, in his first public comments since the blast.”

French police identified Ukrainian Anastasiia Berezovska as the attacker, and she was found shot dead in near Kiev after escaping to the country on July 1.

Vladyslav Reut, a GUR officer, and Vitaliy Zhykovych, a former member of the SBU, have been arrested.

They made bank transfers and cryptocurrency payments to Berezovska that may be linked to the attempt on Ermolaiev’s life.

Killing of Ukrainian Woman Responsible for Bomb Attack in Monaco Takes a New Turn, as Ukrainian Intel Agent Who Confessed to Shooting Her Changes His Story

Reut now denies having shot her and blames her accomplice.

This is a rather convoluted story, so let’s recap:

1 – Ukrainian Vadim Eermolaev, a sanctioned enemy of Kiev regime, was a victim of a terrorist bomb attack in his mansion in Monaco.

2 – A Ukrainian woman, Anastasiia Berezovska, was named a suspect after she was caught in CCTV images. She was said to have fled to ‘Germany’.

3 – Berezovska, who had actually fled to Ukraine, not Germany, is found shot dead on the outskirts of Kiev.

4 – A decorated Ukrainian military intel agent, Vladyslav Reut, admits to her killing, but says that he acted on his own initiative, without orders from the GUR.

But yesterday, Reut claimed he ‘did not pull the trigger’, blaming his former SBU cop accomplice instead.

Syria Arrests ‘ISIS-Linked’ Suspects in Damascus Bombings

Syrian officials said on Thursday that a preliminary investigation of the July 7 bombings in the capital city of Damascus — perpetrated during a visit by French President Emmanuel Macron — suggests that a terrorist cell linked to the Islamic State was responsible.

Police have taken an unspecified number of suspects belonging to the cell into custody.

Two explosions shook Damascus on Tuesday, just before Syria’s interim president Ahmed al-Sharaa met with Macron. One of the bombs was detonated near the Ministry of Tourism. The other was near the Four Seasons Hotel, where Macron was believed to be staying.

The Syrian Interior Ministry said on Tuesday that the bomb near the hotel was “outside the security zone designated for the French president’s residence,” and posed no “direct threat” to Macron or his entourage, especially since he had already departed for his meeting with Sharaa.

The bombs, described as “primitive” by police, detonated as explosives experts were attempting to disarm them. One person was killed and 36 injured by the bombings, most of them members of the security forces.

Brig. Gen. Ahmad al-Dalati, commander of Syria’s national police force, said on Thursday its investigation pointed to an ISIS-linked cell as the culprits.

Dalati said one member of the cell was positively identified by security camera footage, and that individual was “monitored” to learn the identities of the other members.

Interior Minister Annas Khattab announced on Thursday that several members of the cell had been arrested in raids across rural Damascus.

“The cell responsible for the terrorist bombings that targeted Damascus two days ago is now in our custody,” he said.

Khattab promised that more details about the suspects and their terrorist cell would be revealed after the investigation was complete.

The Interior Ministry statement said that raids were conducted in four neighborhoods “across Damascus and its countryside,” including two that are heavily populated with Alawites, the Shiite Muslim minority that claimed deposed dictator Bashar Assad as a member.

The Alawites are now resented by some other groups in Syria because they were privileged and favored by the dictatorship, and some accuse the Alawite community of harboring Assad loyalists and terrorists like ISIS.

Illegal Alien from Guyana Arrested for Firebombing Two New York City Churches – “Yeah, I F**king Firebombed Them!”

A 36-year-old illegal alien was arrested after throwing improvised explosives at two churches in Queens, New York, on Wednesday night.

Yogesh Sayrange is a Guyanese citizen who is considered “unauthorized” in the US because his childhood arrival protection expired.

Surveillance footage from one of the churches shows three individuals outside the Iglesia Bautista El Mesias church when the man, dressed in a dark hoodie and pants, appears to throw a Molotov cocktail at the building.

The three bystanders got back into their car and left the scene as the man walked off in another direction.

A fourth bystander is seen throwing his arms up as he walks by.

Another firebombing occurred at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses.

The suspect, identified as Yogesh Sayrange, is believed by police to be involved in a third incident as well.

Per ABC 7:

The suspect is accused of throwing an incendiary device at the front door of the Iglesia Bautista El Mesias church on 75th Street in Ozone Park just after 11:35 p.m. on Wednesday.

Investigators say the Molotov cocktail bounced off the door and exploded on the ground, causing no damage to the building.

Police say the suspect then traveled to a Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses on 78th Street in Woodhaven, where he allegedly threw a second Molotov cocktail. That device also bounced off the door and exploded on the ground without damaging the building.

A third incident was then discovered at 76-9 Rockaway Boulevard in Cypress Hills. There was no damage to that building.

Authorities later located and arrested the 36-year-old suspect. Police say they recovered two additional Molotov cocktails from his bag at the time of his arrest.

Monaco Bombing Attack Suspect Shot Dead In Ukraine, Intelligence Officer In Custody

The saga of the Monaco package bomb attack carried out last week against an exiled Ukrainian oligarch just got even wilder and more mysterious, as the prime suspect has been found shot dead near Kiev.

The Guardian reports that “Ukrainian prosecutors said on Tuesday the woman had been found with a gunshot wound to the head and that two men had been arrested in connection with the case, including an officer with Ukraine’s military intelligence agency (HUR) and a former law enforcement officer.”

The gunshot victim is reported to be Anastasiia Berezovska, 39-year old Ukrainian national who speaks German – and who has been on the run, and especially since the Friday issuance of a ‘red notice’ by Interpol for her immediate apprehension. There are reports that the would-be assassin had disguised herself as a man while carrying out the parcel bombing.

The victims of the June 29 bombing were Vadym Iermolaiev and his family, which all survived the bombing that took place at the entrance of his luxury Monaco apartment building (however, he and is girlfriend were very seriously injured). The suspected would-be assassin was seen fleeing to the French border, after which a massive police and security search, along with helicopters, ensued across Monaco, France, and even in Italy. Per Euronews:

After the explosion, she is believed to have walked to the nearby French town of Beausoleil, where she retrieved her rental car and drove through Italy to Germany, her last known country of residence, Morgan Raymond, Monaco’s deputy public prosecutor, told reporters.

“The relative sophistication of the explosive device and the modus operandi appear to indicate that the person who planted the device did not act alone,“ the prosecutor said, confirming that the individual was “a woman posing as a man.”

Given that Ukrainian businessman Iermolaiev had long ago been declared an enemy of the Ukrainian state, and has been under sanctions for years for his extensive business dealings in Crimea, Ukrainian intelligence has come under the spotlight for possible involvement in the Monaco bomb attack – a first of its kind in the small, wealthy principality.

Le Figaro reported that the investigation focuses on Zelensky’s secret police (SBU) in the Monaco bomb attack: “According to several concurring sources at Le Figaro, investigators are focusing on the possibility that the attack was orchestrated by the SBU, the Ukrainian intelligence service.”

Ukraine Blamed in Germany for War Crimes in Pipeline Sabotage, Shamed in Poland for Honoring Nazi Collaborators and War Criminals, Suspected in Monaco of Horrific Bombing

Heroes and villains in the Russia-Ukraine war: a warped tale.

Of course, if you check any report by the MSM, you’ll read about what awful criminals the Russians are and how the valiant, democratic Ukrainians shield Europe from this danger.

But just in the few days, we have learned such an astonishing amount of damaging information regarding Volodymyr Zelensky’s regime that it borders on the unbelievable.

To start, German police have charged a Ukrainian veteran with war crimes in the explosion of the Nord Stream Pipeline, and prosecutors have openly told the press that the sabotage was undertaken after ‘state orders’ coming from Kiev.

As you can read in Ukrainian Man Charged in Germany With War Crime Explosions That Sabotaged Nord Stream Pipeline – Prosecutors Say He Acted on ‘State Orders’ by Kiev Regime.

That alone should give anyone pause. But there’s much more.

In Poland, officials have stripped Zelensky of a highly prestigious decoration over his government’s decision to honor WW2 war criminals (is there a theme here?) by renaming a current army unit after the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA), Nazi collaborators who massacred 100,000 Poles (among other atrocities) in World War Two.

Interpol Fingers Snake-Tattooed Ukrainian Woman In Monaco Oligarch Bombing

In a Red Notice posted on its website, the police organization released two photos of the suspect on Friday – noting that she has a tattoo – which appears to be of a snake, on her right arm which extends from shoulder to elbow. The notice also says she has dark hair and speaks German. 

The suspect was seen running away from Monaco on Monday while wearing a bucket hat, after 58-year-old oligarch Vadim Ermolaev, his mistress, Anna Nasobina, 46, and their young son were injured in the blast.

Monaco’s Prosecutor General, Stéphane Thibault, confirmed the suspect is living in Germany, while a senior investigating source told the Daily Mail that the woman had “attempted to look like a man” during the attack, but a witness was able to identify her.

Ukraine Is Back to Its Car-Bombing Terror Campaign – And the MSM Is Cheering Them on

Fake News Globalists love their terrorists.

After Volodymyr Zelensky wasted everyone’s time with an offensive public letter ostensibly meant to demand for direct peace talks – but in truth calculated to make a splash in the press during Russia’s SPIEF forum – Ukraine is back to their ‘Asymmetric warfare’, a.k.a. terrorism.

On Monday (8), a Russian military official in charge of ammunition supplies was assassinated with a car bomb near Moscow.

Dozens of MSM news outlets reported the attack, but NOT ONE of them condemned the attack – or even attributed it to the Kiev regime.

We see them using their dirty, old, and trusted linguistic tricks to say that ‘a car bomb’ killed the Colonel.

The Telegraph reported:

“Surveillance footage caught the moment a car exploded in the middle of the street early on Tuesday in Balashikha, an industrial satellite town around six miles east of Moscow known for housing senior military personnel.

The victim was Col Damir Davydov, who headed the Russian defense ministry’s missile and artillery wing, according to The Insider, a Russian investigative outlet.”

Watch: car bomb explosion in Balashikha targeting the head of the Main Missile and Artillery Directorate of the Russian Ministry of Defense, Damir Davydov.

Mystery Car Bombing Near Moscow May Have Taken Out A Top General

In what appears the latest targeted killing in a string of high profile assassinations of top Russian military brass since the Ukraine war began, an unidentified man – possibly a high-ranking military officer, was reportedly blown up Tuesday morning after a bomb detonated in his car.

The incident happened very early in the morning Tuesday in a suburb called Balashikha, just outside the Russian capital. While Russian authorities have yet to release the identity of the deceased man, it happened very near an area known to host residences of military and government officials.

“The location of Tuesday’s explosion is not far from where Lieutenant General Yaroslav Moskalik — the deputy head of the General Staff’s main operational directorate — was killed in a car bombing last year,” the Amsterdam-based Moscow Times writes.

Investigators said an “explosive device was detonated while a BMW X3 car was driving near a residential apartment building.”  

In this newest case, the speculation on Telegram is that the fatality was a 62-year-old lieutenant general. A formal investigation is underway:

Security camera footage circulated by pro-Kremlin media showed the vehicle bursting into flames from the trunk and back seats before rolling into a parked vehicle. According to the Telegram channel Mash, bystanders rushed to pull the driver out of the burning wreckage, but he died shortly after.

Russia’s internal security service, the FSB, previously said it is making great efforts to tighten around high-ranking military officers of late.

This possibly adds, pending the details, to a growing list of high profile assassinations related to the Ukraine war. To review:

—Darya Dugina was killed in a car bombing in 2022 which was likely meant for her father, prominent political thinker and often dubbed “Putin ally” Aleksandr Dugin.

—Gen Igor Kirillov died in December 2024 outside of his residence when a bomb planted in a nearby scooter detonated.

—Gen Yaroslav Moskalik, who served as deputy head of the Main Operations Directorate of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, was killed in a car bomb attack last April. A “homemade” explosive device detonated under his Volkswagen Golf in a residential neighborhood.

Throughout the course of the war there’s been a string of these high profile assassinations on Russian soil involving car and even cafe bombs.

Netanyahu gifted Trump a golden pager at White House meeting, PM’s office confirms

The Prime Minister’s Office on Thursday confirmed reports that Benjamin Netanyahu gave a golden pager as a gift to US President Donald Trump during their meeting at the White House on Tuesday, a reference to the clandestine operation that decimated the Hezbollah terror group.

The gift “symbolizes the Prime Minister’s decision that led to a turning point in the war and the starting point for breaking the will of the terrorist organization Hezbollah,” Netanyahu’s office said.

The operation “expresses the power, technological superiority and cunning of Israel against its enemies,” according to the PMO.

The golden pager displayed text that read: “Press with both hands,” and was given to Trump on a trophy-style display with a placard saying: “To President Donald J. Trump, our greatest friend and greatest ally. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.”

“That was a great operation,” Trump responded, according to Channel 12 news.

In return, Trump reportedly gave Netanyahu a photo of the two of them from the visit, with the dedication “To Bibi, a great leader.”

On September 17, 2024, thousands of pagers used by Hezbollah across Lebanon suddenly exploded, killing dozens of operatives and maiming thousands, marking the beginning of Israel’s escalation against the terror group, after almost a year of persistent Hezbollah rocket fire that displaced some 60,000 residents of the north.

The pagers, laced with explosives, were detonated via an encrypted message that required users to hold the devices with both hands, maximizing the likelihood of the subsequent blast causing debilitating injuries.

A day later, hundreds of walkie-talkies also blew up, killing and injuring scores more.

The attacks came as Israel began to step up a counter-offensive against the Iran-backed Hezbollah, which began striking Israel almost immediately after the allied Palestinian terror group Hamas’s October 7, 2023, attack. The pager operation was immediately linked to Israel, which claimed responsibility in November 2024.
