A superyacht linked to sanctioned billionaire Roman Abramovich was met by protesters as it arrived in Bodrum, Turkey. Members of the Optimist Sailing Team Ukraine confronted the vessel in a small boat, chanting anti-war slogans and waving the Ukrainian flag.
The yacht is connected to the former Chelsea FC owner, who has been sanctioned by the UK and EU following Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The protest highlights ongoing tensions surrounding assets of Russian oligarchs.
The incident occurred as the yacht docked in the popular Turkish resort town. Turkey has not imposed sanctions on Russia, making it a destination for vessels linked to sanctioned individuals.
