The girlfriend of Ukrainian oligarch Vadym Jermolajev has awakened from her coma a month after a bombing in Monaco. The explosion occurred at the end of June, with Jermolajev, his girlfriend, and their son narrowly escaping death.

Upon awakening, she discovered that both of her legs had been amputated, leaving her in a state of trauma. Jermolajev spoke about this in an interview with the newspaper 'Oekrajinska Pravda', describing his girlfriend's condition.

Reports indicate that Jermolajev's girlfriend suffered multiple injuries from the explosion, which led to the amputations.

The bombing has not only caused her physical damage but also psychological effects, as she now has to deal with severe trauma.

The Ukrainian oligarch has emphasized the seriousness of the incident and underscored the importance of proper medical care for his girlfriend.

To date, details surrounding the attack and the reasons behind it remain unclear, but the impact on the victims' lives is significant.
