Documents show Putin’s order to move superyacht before Ukraine invasion
A new investigation reveals that the ship was towed out of Hamburg, Germany on 7 February en route to the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad. Just 15 days later – on 22 February – Putin ordered the full-blown invasion of Ukraine. After the invasion, the US, UK and EU imposed sanctions on Russian-owned assets overseas, and dozens of oligarch-owned superyachts were seized across the world.
