Friends of Ukraine, we have a problem.
Russia's richest oligarch may have secret superyacht in Netherlands— despite sanctions.
118 meter ship is likely worth €250 million.
@DutchMFA should chain war enabler Potanin's ship & EU should #SanctionPotanin!

@DutchMFA @navalny @pevchikh @Billbrowder @swsjoerdsma @DmytroKuleba @VVChentsov @MattiMaasikas @KyivIndependent @KyivPost @Kasparov63 This article says alleged owner is Russia's richest oligarch, Vladimir Potanin.
Name of superyacht would be 'Katyusha': associated with Soviet Union military, a marching song used by the Red Army in WW2 & also a Russian rocket artillery.

@DutchMFA @navalny @pevchikh @Billbrowder @swsjoerdsma @DmytroKuleba @VVChentsov @MattiMaasikas @KyivIndependent @KyivPost @Kasparov63 Russia's richest oligarch Vladimir Potanin is on:
* @Navalny's list of 'war enablers'
* US Treasury 2018 list of people closely associated with Putin
* UK 2022 sanctions list for being "in Putin's inner circle"
What is EU waiting for? #SanctionPotanin

EU making new sanctions against Russia for sham "referendums", mobilisation & nuclear threat.
With 1206 Russians sanctioned, an EU source claims "no big fish left."
Why not extend to all 6000 on @Navalny's list, starting with Putin pal #SanctionPotanin?
Netherlands @Douane should contact @Navalny's Anti-Corruption Foundation.
We can't risk Russia's richest oligarch escaping sanctions by simply re-registering his secret superyacht.
Coz that's what corrupt oligarchs do :-/

Kudos to MP @SWSjoerdsma for asking questions to MFA @WBHoekstra
"It would be crazy if a luxury yacht was now being worked on in the Netherlands with final destination Russia. That goes against the sanctions and again raises questions about enforcement."
