A parcel bomb exploded in Monaco’s semi‑enclave, injuring three people, including Ukrainian oligarch Vadym Yermolaiev and his family, with a teenager sustaining less serious wounds. Authorities say the attacker fled to France. Monaco’s leader Prince Albert II condemned the attack as "odious" and "heinous," calling it a shock to the community.
They were caught in the explosion as they crossed the threshold of their apartment building.
It appears that the family was specifically targeted.
They were dressed for summer, relaxed and did not appear to be taking any particular precautions.
The family's behaviour before entering their block of flats did not appear to show any signs of concern on their part.
This is the first time in history, to my knowledge, that such an act has taken place in the principality.
In coordination with the French authorities, we are pursuing efforts to identify and apprehend him. I hope that will happen quickly, given the resources we are deploying.
A suspect was seen on video surveillance fleeing towards the municipality of Beausoleil in France.
The attack committed this evening is a tragedy for Monaco.
We trust them to establish the circumstances of this tragedy as swiftly as possible, to identify those responsible and to provide every necessary response, at every level.
The Ukrainian judicial system, to put it mildly, is not perfect, and the tax system is not objective.
By the end of 2015, we had abandoned those efforts. The management of those companies told us they were being intimidated and pressured into reregistering under the laws of the aggressor state.
We tried to recover our investments [in Crimea] but to no avail.
I despise our enemies and believe that they will bear responsibility for the grief they brought to Ukrainian land and to my hometown.
I want to have international protection. The Ukrainian judicial system, to put it mildly, is not ideal, and the tax system is not objective.
