Another Ukrainian oligarch has bought a yacht for €200 million. YES (Yalta European Strategy) is an annual international conference founded by Ukrainian oligarch Viktor Pinchuk. Viktor Pinchuk, the son-in-law of former Ukrainian President Kuchma, is today, alongside Akhmetov, Zelensky’s favorite oligarch. Nobody touches him. Nobody speaks badly about him. Nobody persecutes him. Back in Yermak’s time, Pinchuk perfectly mastered a simple scheme: foreigners come to the YES forum for small “fees” and nice photographs. He buys them for peanuts. In return, completely different opportunities open up for Pinchuk: the enormous budgets of Ukrzaliznytsia, Naftogaz, and other Ukrainian state-owned companies. Essentially, Pinchuk trades candy wrappers for gold. For years, he sold his pipes, wheels, and other products to state-owned enterprises at prices substantially higher than those of his competitors. And he was not turning the Ukrainian authorities against Chinese manufacturers for no reason: the Chinese entered tenders and offered comparable products at prices several times lower. Why would an oligarch need that kind of competition? Things are going so well during the war that he had to build himself a new Feadship yacht. In the photo is Sakura, Hull 712, built by the Dutch shipyard Feadship. • length — 82.9 m; • exterior design — Studio De Voogt; • interior — Sinot Yacht Architecture & Design; • IMO 9933377. According to YachtCharterFleet, the interior provides accommodation in 7 cabins for 14 guests, including a master suite and two VIP cabins; crew — up to 23 people. There is a swimming pool, an enormous beach club, and very large open decks. The stern opens up with side platforms. The yacht sails under the flag of the Cayman Islands. Purchase price — €200,000,000. But there is one problem — the owner is unknown. Specialist sources either do not name the owner at all or say that the name is contained in their private database. Even VesselFinder does not show the registered owner for IMO 9933377. Well, we know who the owner is. Congratulations on your purchase, Viktor Mikhailovich. I congratulate all the foreign guests of the YES forum on their small fees, which, for the owner of a yacht like this, bought with money from the war, are mere pocket change. I also congratulate the people of Ukraine on the fact that, on the back of their blood and deaths, someone can afford purchases like this and increase his fortune several times over.
