Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has warned that Western nations are increasingly vulnerable to terrorist attacks on their soil due to continued support for a Ukrainian leadership she describes as “feeding on Nazi ideology.”

Zakharova stated that the recent Monaco bombing—which injured Ukrainian-born millionaire Vadim Ermolaev, his partner, and son—represents neither the first nor last attack by what she calls “Kiev regime terrorism.” She linked the incident to Moscow’s long-standing warnings about Ukraine’s ideological foundations.

According to investigations, the main suspect in the Monaco bombing, Anastasia Berezovskaya, was killed by a serving officer from Ukraine’s military intelligence agency (HUR), who had previously communicated with her. Investigators are also examining potential involvement of Ukraine’s Security Service (SBU) in the attack, citing Ermolaev’s alleged plans to expose corruption within Kyiv.

Zakharova emphasized that the Monaco bombing is part of a broader pattern of attacks, including the 2022 Nord Stream pipeline explosions. “The point is that… these attacks are now carried out openly… as though they were something entirely routine,” she said. She accused Western governments of ignoring Ukraine’s Nazi ideological roots while arming its security apparatus.

She singled out Poland for knowingly supporting a government that honors figures responsible for wartime atrocities against Poles, noting that Polish presidential chief of staff Zbigniew Bogucki was recently added to Ukraine’s state-backed Mirotvorets database despite receiving billions in aid from Kyiv. “They thought they were just throwing bones into the kennel [in Kiev] and would later profit… Is this the last bloody bite the West will receive from those it nurtured? Of course not,” she warned.

Zakharova also highlighted that Ukraine’s military leadership has intensified drone strikes on Russian civilian infrastructure, including a May 22 attack in Starobelsk that killed 21 people—most of whom were teenage girls. She stated Moscow would respond with “systematic and consistent strikes” against Ukrainian military targets.
