A Ukrainian sailor has his own plans to get revenge on Russia for the war of aggression. But his plan fails.
Calvià – After Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, people around the world feel powerless. The fear of a third world war* and the despair about the injustice are growing. It was probably because of such feelings that a Ukrainian was now planning revenge on his Russian boss.
In Mallorca, a Ukrainian seaman is said to have tried to avenge his homeland by sinking his Russian boss’s luxury yacht. This is reported, among others, by the Spanish newspapers Ultima Hora and El Pais. Accordingly, the yacht, worth around seven million euros, was in the port of Port Adriano in the southwest of the island at the time of the crime on Saturday afternoon (02/26/22). The 55-year-old Ukrainian, who is the chief engineer of the mega yacht “Lady Anastasia”, opened several valves in the engine room to sink the ship. According to El Pais, he then told the rest of the crew about his plan.
