2022-07-22

For numerous Russian oligarchs, their luxurious superyachts represent their most valuable possessions. However, following Vladimir Putin's decision to invade Ukraine earlier this year, these yachts quickly turned into prime targets for an extraordinary wave of sanctions imposed by US, EU, and UK officials. Some vessels were confiscated or had their assets frozen, while others attempted to flee rapidly, and some seemingly vanished altogether. Our World delves into the intricate cat-and-mouse game between the yacht hunters and Russia's elite.
