Berezovska Murder Case: Media Have Revealed New Facts About Suspects From DIU and, Presumably, SSU
Investigators say the blast injured three members of a Ukrainian family and led to attempted-murder and murder probes.
- Following a June 29 explosion in Monaco that injured three people, Ukrainian authorities charged two men with the murder of prime suspect Anastasiia Berezovska, whose body was discovered in woods near Kyiv.
- Prosecutors allege GUR agent Vladyslav Reut and Zhykovych, a former Security Service of Ukraine officer, acted 'jointly and in a coordinated fashion' to kill Berezovska, who was suspected of plotting an attack against businessman Vadym Yermolaev.
- During a Thursday custody hearing, Reut 'categorically denied' committing the murder, claiming Zhykovych forced him to participate and threatened his relatives, while Zhykovych's lawyer described his client as a 'patriot.'
- A judge denied bail for both men, remanding them in custody as prosecutor Dmytro Tkachuk continues investigating, noting one suspect 'revealed' information that remains confidential to avoid hindering the inquiry.
- President Volodymyr Zelensky promised 'additional relevant reports' in the coming days regarding the case, which remains uncomfortable for Kyiv given the suspects' alleged backgrounds in military and intelligence services.
