A Ukrainian crew member who served as a mechanic on the yacht of Alexander Mihayev, CEO of the Russian state arms export corporation, sank the seven-million-euro vessel in the port of Adriano in Majorca, Spain, in retaliation for the war. “I do not regret anything I did and would do again. Said in court before being released.
The mechanic saw a Russian cruise missile hitting a building in Ukraine yesterday and came to the conclusion that it was a missile from Mihayev’s company and decided to take revenge on it. He opened valves in the engine room of “Lady Anastasia”, turned off the electricity and ordered three other Ukrainian crew members to leave.
Immediately afterwards, the yacht, which reaches a length of 47 meters, partially sank in the harbor despite attempts by crew members to rescue it. “The owner of this yacht is a criminal who profits from the sale of weapons that are now killing Ukrainians,” he told police officers who came to arrest him.
