ANALYSIS BY COUNTRY
SOUTH AFRICADOMINANT ANGLE
Pretoria views the incident as evidence that European intelligence wars are now spilling over onto Ukrainian soil itself
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
KEY POINTS

- •Two suspects are being held in connection with her murder, including an active officer from Ukraine's Military Intelligence Directorate (HUR)
- •A room resembling a torture chamber was discovered at the home of the accomplice, a former police officer, according to Ukrainian police
BIASES
South Africa's government has noted a framing of news that often involves a near-complete reuse of Reuters/AFP sources without local critical analysisSouth African officials tend to focus on procedural facts, such as arrests and searches, rather than the underlying geopolitical implicationsSouth Africa's capital, Pretoria, has seen limited coverage of the political motivations or alleged links to the Russian-Ukrainian war
UNITED STATESDOMINANT ANGLE
The United States government is questioning the unclear aspects of a case that involves targeted assassination, secret financial networks, and escalating intelligence warfare amidst the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
Dominant angle identified — does not reflect unanimity of this country’s media
KEY POINTS
- •The United States government is closely following the developments in the case of Anastasiia Berezovska, 39, who was found dead near Kyiv, after being targeted by an Interpol red notice for the Monaco attack.
- •A Ukrainian military intelligence officer has admitted to killing her with the help of a former police officer, claiming to have acted alone without reporting to his superiors, in a case that has raised concerns in the US about the handling of such incidents.
- •According to NBC News, prosecutors have detained two men and discovered "a room resembling a torture chamber", as the US authorities continue to monitor the situation.
BIASES
The United States government is taking a close look at Ukrainian security measures, where the narrative relies almost entirely on the official version of the SBU, without citing any independent investigation.Americans prefer a judicial and criminal angle, with little exploration of geopolitical motivations or the Russian lead, despite hints of Yermolaiev's connections to Moscow.The US press provides limited coverage of the Monaco investigation, focusing on the Ukrainian aspect and leaving little room for the principality's authorities to be heard.
