A UKRAINIAN sailor has sunk his Russian boss’ £5.8m luxury superyacht in Spain before accusing him of selling weapons to Vladimir Putin. The yacht, named the Lady Anastasia, was owned by business owner turned arms dealer Alexander Mijeev.

The Ukrainian sailor, identified as D. Taras O, tried to sink his boss’ 156-foot-long plush boat in Majorca by flooding its engine room, according to Majorca Daily Bulletin. The chief engineer – who had been working on the vessel for over a decade – opened one valve in the engine room and a second where the crew lived before allegedly telling three workers, also Ukrainians, to jump ship. He also shut down the electricity and closed the fuel valves. The yacht was left with a destroyed engine room. Taras was arrested and later told a Spanish court he blamed his boss for producing the weapons that were being used to attack Ukraine.

More than 300,000 civilians have fled as shells rained down across the country over the weekend – as the battle for the capital, Kyiv, stretched into a fourth day. The city awoke to more air raid sirens after missile attacks that turned the sky orange during what Zelenskyy said was a “brutal” night. And Ukrainian forces are battling the Russian invaders on the streets of Kharkiv and remain in “full control”, local commanders say. It came as high level peace talks are expected to be held at 10am UK time between Moscow and Kyiv on Belarusian-Ukrainian border. Ukraine continues to mount a firm resistance to the invading Russians as all Vladimir Putin’s hope for a rapid victory have been crushed. So instead the tyrant has been forced to the negotiating table for the first time – but it is unclear how successful such talks will be. NewsflashD.
