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
UKRAINESTATEDOMINANT ANGLE
Kyiv is assessing the scope of an attack involving two of its nationals in opposing roles: the presumed suspect is Ukrainian, as is the target - a sanctioned oligarch with alleged Russian ties.
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
KEY POINTS
- •Ukrainian citizen Anastasiia Berezovska, 39, residing in Germany, was identified in 53 hours through surveillance footage and placed on Interpol's red list on July 3, 2026.
- •Anna Nasobina, 46, the partner of oligarch Vadym Yermolaiev, lost both legs in the explosion; her condition remained critical and unstable.
- •Monaco's Deputy Prosecutor Morgan Raymond stated that the suspect "did not act alone" and the explosive device, loaded with metal bolts and shot, showed relative sophistication.
BIASES
The Ukrainian government's concern for its citizens is highlighted by the lack of consular access to Ukrainian victims, which takes precedence over any assessment of the suspect's profile.The sanctioned status and alleged Russian ties of Yermolaiev are mentioned but not elaborated upon, downplaying a potentially sensitive aspect of the case.The Nord Stream incident is referenced in parallel, but not directly linked to the attack, leaving an implicit connection unexplained.
