Putin's $133M Yacht Flees to Arctic Port Under Naval Escort

Russian President Vladimir Putin's $133 million luxury yacht is relocating to the Arctic port of Murmansk, escorted by the destroyer Severomorsk. The move comes after Ukrainian drone strikes targeted Russian naval bases, prompting a shift that bypasses Western air defense gaps.

The vessel is being shadowed by the heavily armed escort as a precautionary measure. The relocation highlights ongoing security concerns for high-value assets amid the conflict with Ukraine.
