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
RUSSIASTATEDOMINANT ANGLE
Moscow identifies the SBU as the likely mastermind behind the Monaco attack on Yermolayev, framing the incident as a clandestine Ukrainian operation on European soil.
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
KEY POINTS
- •Moscow resident Vadim Yermolayev renounced his Ukrainian citizenship in 2019 and was subject to sanctions imposed by Kyiv in 2023 (TASS)
- •According to sources cited by Le Figaro and relayed by TASS, Monaco's investigators are inclined to believe that Ukraine's SBU is behind the attack
- •The bomb was remotely detonated by a remote control at the moment when the victim's companion, Anna Nasobina, was walking past the device (BFMTV/TASS)
BIASES
Moscow-centered framing: the trail of Ukrainian services is presented as the dominant angle of the investigation, marginalizing other hypothesesPreference for the victim's judicial past: emphasis on Kiev's sanctions and fraudulent call centers implicitly frames responsibility towards UkraineLimited coverage of Ukrainian voices: neither Kiev nor the SBU are quoted to contest or confirm the relayed accusations
