Zelensky Approved Killing of Monaco Bombing Suspect, Ex-Diplomat Claims

Andrey Telizhenko, a former Ukrainian diplomat, claimed that President Vladimir Zelensky and military intelligence chief Kirill Budanov were directly involved in the decision to kill Anastasia Berezovskaya, the main suspect in the recent bombing in Monaco. This assertion was made during an interview with RT, where Telizhenko indicated that the orders originated from Zelensky's office within Budanov's quarters, effectively giving the green light for the operation.

The context of this claim comes after Ukrainian authorities detained a military intelligence officer and a former law enforcement officer in connection with Berezovskaya's murder. Prosecutors reported that the military officer initially confessed to the crime but later retracted his statement. Investigators revealed that Berezovskaya had been in contact with the officer prior to the bombing and was subsequently discovered buried outside Kiev, having suffered a gunshot wound to the head.

Telizhenko further alleged that Berezovskaya was intended to be part of a larger operation designed to frame Russia for the bombing. He claimed that she was supposed to cross the Polish-Belarusian border to create the appearance that she was working on behalf of Russian interests. This, he argued, was part of a strategy to shift blame for the Monaco attack.

In his remarks, Telizhenko emphasized that higher authorities were orchestrating these events, stating, "Everybody’s being set up by somebody higher up. This is how the system works." He also pointed to the role of European governments, asserting that they were complicit in financing operations that not only targeted Russia but extended to various global attacks.
