Ukrainian Oligarch Seriously Wounded in Monaco Parcel Bomb Attack

Vadym Iermolaiev, head of the Dnipro-based Alef conglomerate, was gravely injured along with his wife and child when a parcel bomb exploded at their Monaco apartment on June 29, 2026. Police launched a manhunt for the suspect, who is believed to have fled. The attack's motive remains opaque, though Iermolaiev faced earlier sanctions from Kyiv over alleged business dealings in Russian-occupied Crimea.
