Investigators looking into the explosion in Monaco are leaning toward a version involving the Security Service of Ukraine, Le Figaro reports.

The lives of Ukrainian businessman Vadym Yermolaiev and his 13-year-old son are now out of danger after the attempted killing, Le Figaro writes, citing Monaco Prosecutor General Stéphane Thibault.
At the same time, the condition of Yermolaiev’s companion remains significantly more serious.
The newspaper recalls that businessman Vadym Yermolaiev, who was injured in the explosion, had previously renounced Ukrainian citizenship and was placed under personal sanctions by Kyiv.
“According to our information, the attack looks more like a ‘warning’ than a deliberate attempt to kill,” Le Figaro claims.
