A Ukrainian intelligence officer, Vladyslav Reut, initially confessed to killing Anastasiia Berezovska, the suspect in a Monaco assassination attempt, but has since retracted his confession, claiming he was coerced by his accomplice. The case has drawn significant attention due to Reut's status as a decorated military intelligence officer and the unclear motives behind the Monaco bombing. Both Reut and his co-defendant, Vitalii Zhykovych, have been charged with premeditated murder and remain in custody as investigations continue.
