Putin’s £90m megayacht changes name to ‘Killer Whale’ and flees port near Nato countries after his nuclear threat

VLADIMIR Putin’s £90million megayacht has fled Kaliningrad after the dictator threatened to use nuclear weapons in Ukraine — and changed its name to “Killer Whale”. The floating mansion, formerly called Graceful, was last seen headed for St Petersburg after leaving its port in the Russian province sandwiched between Poland and Lithuania.

It had been docked in the Kaliningrad Oblast since escaping sanctions by leaving a ­German shipyard days before the invasion of Ukraine by Mad Vlad in February. The vessel is believed to have turned off its AIS transponders which means it cannot be tracked Among luxuries on the yacht are a swimming pool that can be transformed into a dance floor and theatre, a grand piano and cocktail bar.
