A Ukrainian businessman with ties to Russian interests lies among the wounded, and the man believed responsible has already slipped across the border into France — reminding us that in an age of porous boundaries and deep geopolitical fault lines, violence rarely respects the neat edges of jurisdiction. Authorities in two nations now race against time and geography to close a case that may reach far beyond the Mediterranean coast.
