It's been one year of full-scale war in Ukraine.

It's been costly and messy and bloody,

but there's another front on this war,

and it too has been costly, it's been messy,

but not all bloody.

It's the fight to seize Russian yachts.

Seasoning Russian super yachts

is really kind of the most tangible symbol that we have

for what is a much larger issue,

which is that Western governments have sanctioned

and frozen hundreds of billions of dollars

with the Russian assets in response to the war in Ukraine.

Coming up on today, explained,

you're going to seize a bigger boat.

The super yachts are really the things

that have captured everyone's imagination

because they're such an opulent, outrageous example

of Russian wealth.

BEEP

What's up, understand?

Can't explain.

Explain.
