The Victoria yacht, which Putin uses, has left Russia and is heading to Turkey via the Bosphorus.
As reported by Russian media, according to MarineTraffic, on June 26 the yacht left the Krasnodar Territory of the Russian Federation and headed to Turkey via the Bosphorus.
On June 28-29, the ship was anchored in the Pendik district of Istanbul, and then set course for the resort town of Bodrum, where it was supposed to arrive on Tuesday evening.
Formally, Victoria, whose cost in 2023 was estimated at $50 million, belongs to the structures of the friend of the Russian President – billionaire Gennady Timchenko. The yacht is based in Sochi and regularly sails to Cape Idokopas, where the so-called “Putin’s palace” is located.
Earlier it became known that the 82-meter yacht Graceful, also associated with Putin, is heading to Turkey. It is accompanied by a Russian destroyer and the emergency rescue ship “Voevoda”.
According to Marine Traffic, the Graceful is currently en route to Istanbul. Arrival is expected on July 12.
As previously reported by USM, the Putin-linked superyacht turned on its AIS for the first time in nearly four years and passed through the Danish Straits.
The Graceful is estimated to be worth $100 million. The vessel was sanctioned by the US after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and was renamed the “Killer Whale.”
