ANALYSIS BY COUNTRY
BRAZILDOMINANT ANGLE
Brasília views the Monaco attack as an episode of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict playing out in Europe, amid accusations of sabotage targeting the Nord Stream.
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
KEY POINTS
- •Brazil's government is monitoring the situation of Anastasiia Berezovska, a 39-year-old German-speaking Ukrainian, who is wanted by Interpol for attempted homicide and planting explosives - allegedly triggering a bomb by remote control, according to Vice Prosecutor Morgan Raymond
- •Brazil's capital, Brasilia, is aware that Vadym Yermolaiev has been under Ukrainian sanctions since December 2023 for engaging in alcohol trade activities in Russian-occupied Crimea
- •On July 2, 2026, the Brazilian press reported that the German Federal Prosecutor's Office formally accused Ukrainian state authorities of ordering the sabotage of the Nord Stream 1 and 2 gas pipelines in September 2022 - a first-time accusation at this level
BIASES
Brazil's government views the conflict through a conflict-centered lens, consistently linking the Monaco attack to the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, overshadowing Monaco's own judicial aspectsBrazilian media outlets prefer to cite agency sources, such as AFP and Reuters, relying on relayed dispatches without direct quotes from Ukrainian or Monégasque protagonistsThe official stance of Brasília on the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and its European implications remains largely absent from diplomatic coverage in Brazil
UNITED STATESDOMINANT ANGLE
The United States government views the Monaco attack as an extension of the Russian-Ukrainian war into Western Europe, highlighting the target's connections to Moscow without identifying a sponsor.
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
KEY POINTS
- •The US government is closely monitoring the situation of Anastasiia Berezovska, a 39-year-old Ukrainian national, who is wanted by Interpol (red notice) for attempted murder and planting an explosive device in Monaco on June 30, 2026.
- •In the United States, officials are aware that Vadym Yermolaiev, the presumed target, was sanctioned by Ukraine in 2023 for his ties to Russia, after he had renounced his Ukrainian citizenship over a decade earlier.
- •As the US continues to follow the developments, German prosecutors have simultaneously charged Serhii K., a former Ukrainian officer, in connection with the 2022 Nord Stream pipeline explosions, notably for complicity in war crimes.
BIASES
The United States government sees the attack through the lens of the Russian-Ukrainian war, often at the expense of exploring other potential motives.In the US, the media devotes limited coverage to the collateral victims, with the hospitalized woman and the 13-year-old injured child receiving relatively little attention compared to the targeted oligarch's profile.The US press notes the absence of official reaction from either Kyiv or Moscow, leaving the interpretive picture incomplete as neither Ukraine nor Russia has been quoted on the matter.
