Vladimir Putin's superyacht worth 120 million euros is fleeing from Europe

A luxury yacht believed to belong to Russian President Vladimir Putin, valued at €120 million, has left Europe to avoid potential Ukrainian drone attacks. The 82-meter-long yacht 'Graceful' is traveling along Norway's coast toward the northern Russian port of Murmansk, accompanied by two Russian naval ships. NATO is monitoring the convoy, according to The Telegraph. The yacht was spotted with anti-drone nets covering its decks and is escorted by heavily armed destroyers and support vessels. It was moved from Hamburg to the Russian enclave of Kaliningrad just 17 days before Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. The United States later imposed sanctions on the yacht, renaming it 'Kosatka,' meaning 'killer whale' in Russian. The yacht had not been publicly seen until last week, when it briefly emitted signals through its automatic identification system. Analysts suggest the relocation is a direct response to recent Ukrainian successes, including a drone strike on the strategic Russian naval base in Kronstadt.
