Ukrainian oligarch Vadim Ermolaev says bomb attack points to his own intelligence services
Vadim Ermolaev, a 59-year-old Ukrainian billionaire, survived a bomb explosion at his Monaco residence and now suspects Ukrainian intelligence involvement.
Ukrainian oligarch Vadim Ermolaev, aged 59, was injured when a bomb exploded at the entrance of his Monaco apartment building during the summer, an incident that left the vestibule under repair. He reports gradual improvement, though further eye examinations are pending. His companion, who was also present, stays in hospital with severe injuries and an uncertain recovery timeline, while their son has resumed schooling and appears to be recovering.
In an exclusive interview, Ermolaev says he does not know any adversaries but suspects the involvement of Ukrainian intelligence services in the attack. He maintains that he is not aware of any personal motives behind the bombing.
Why it matters
The case highlights potential internal security conflicts involving Ukrainian intelligence and raises concerns about the safety of high-profile expatriates.
