Russian president ordered urgent removal of Graceful from Hamburg shipyard, investigation claims

Vladimir Putin moved his $100m (£75m) superyacht from a German shipyard to Russia just weeks before he ordered the invasion of Ukraine, according to secret documents released in a new investigation.

A Russian anti-corruption organisation set up by the jailed opposition leader Alexei Navalny claims emails show that the Russian president ordered the urgent moving of the 82-metre superyacht, called Graceful, from a shipyard in Hamburg, where it was undergoing a $32m refit, by 1 February 2022.

Photos show the ship being towed out of Hamburg on 7 February en route to the Russian exclave of Kaliningrad, after the shipyard missed the 1 February deadline.

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.

The US government’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) lists the Graceful as “blocked property in which President Vladimir Putin has an interest”.

The Graceful, also codenamed Kosatka, or Killer Whale, which features a 15-metre indoor swimming pool that can be converted into a dancefloor, is just one of several superyachts linked to Putin.

An email sent to Hamburg’s Blohm+Voss shipyard on 19 January 2022 said: “The owner wants the Graceful to be brought to the Russian Federation on February 1st … Please mobilise an uninterrupted crew – 2 shifts.” It continued: “Please accelerate all works which may interfere with Graceful sailing out on 01 February.”

The emails said the owner wanted to remove the boat to the Russian Federation to complete the works. “The owner is not happy with the retrofit. He is dissatisfied with the delays in the construction process,” the email from SCF Group, Russia’s largest shipping company, said. The work had been expected to take more than a year.

The emails are disclosed in a report by Russian investigative journalist Maria Pevchikh, who leads an anti-corruption foundation set up by Navalny.

“Half of the country is forced to raise money for underwear and socks for mobilised soldiers, and to make trench candles, while the person who unleashed this war spends 3bn roubles just on repairs and purchases for his yacht,” her report states.

Putin’s largest superyacht, the $700m Scheherazade, has been impounded in the Italian port of Marina di Carrara, where it was undergoing repairs. He is also named by the US as the owner of a smaller superyacht called Olympia, valued at $22m.

That is damning on two fronts. Firstly how does this humble man living on a pittance own a super yacht…..kinda blows Seboastian right out the water, so to speak. And secondly, while theoretically there could be other reasons for its emergency removal, the obvious one is he knew he was going to attack.

Which of course means any negotiations after that point are proven to be in bad faith.

Australia should join Brics since China basically owns them. 

Seizing Russian assets of over 500 billion dollars and kicking Russia off SWIFT is the biggest disaster ever to hit America. 

All done courtesy of the corrupt, perverted Sniffer in Chief Globalist traitor and sell out Joe Biden. 

The fact is Russia today is stronger and more prosperous than before Putin. 

Look at the USA today thanks to Globalist rule. 

Yes China buying oil at 78 dollars a barrel from them. So much for sanctions. With the Saudis, UAE, Brazil, China,Russia... the western billionaire hedged-funders are quaking.... better join the quakers. 

Stronger, yep because oil prices have gone up. Keep it up and they’ll catch Italy….haha!

According to reliable sources the yacht was sent to Naples for repairs before the war started  - so what does that prove Mozart?   Is Putin not allowed to send his yacht for repairs elsewhere.          

Putin has been planning this long before Crimea. Crimea was just the first phase of this exercise. 
The ex KGB agents and Oligarchs running Russia are Nazi's.

There are more terrorists in the U SA than in Rusia.  They are in fact subsidiaries of te Democratic Party called BLM and Antifa.   Look what they did with help from the said party in July to September 2020.  They still reign supreme in cities like Portland (Oregon) and Seattle where they attack people and even murder people as well as looting without any consequences.   

Have you ever wondered while hundreds of thousands of people flee from cities like New York, Chicago, San Francisco and Las Vegas,  Most flee from those cities because they are being terrorized on a daily basis and  the Democratic Party controlling those towns allow the terrorists  a free hand and arrest  any person defending themselves,    Those fleeing to Mexico think the Mexican Cartels are less dangerous than the USA Democratic Party terrorists.            

Read this Clever and tell me which words you don’t understand:

‘ Vladimir Putin moved his $100m (£75m) superyacht from a German shipyard to Russia just weeks before he ordered the invasion of Ukraine, according to secret documents released in a new investigation.’

Mozart

Thanks for the quote - so he sent his yacht for repairs and then moved it back to Russia AFTER THE REPAIRS WERE COMPLETED.    Same BS  propaganda if you ask me.  Two weeks before the invasion Putin signed a peace agreement with Zelenskyy and the USA SABOTAGED THE AGREEMENT.      Comprehende????
