A superyacht linked to sanctioned billionaire and Chelsea Football Club owner Roman Abramovich was met with a protest as it arrived at port in Bodrum, Turkey.
Members of the Optimist dinghy Sailing Team Ukraine met the vessel in a small boat, chanting "no war in Ukraine" and waving their country's flag.
They were part of a junior sailing team that was in Turkey to compete in an annual competition, having left Ukraine before the Russian invasion.
