The superyacht Nord, believed to belong to Alexey Mordashov, an ally of Russian President Vladimir Putin and Russia’s third-richest oligarch, was anchored in Hong Kong waters on Oct. 6, 2022.
After the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war, the United States, the European Union, the United Kingdom, and other countries imposed sanctions on tycoons who are regarded as Putin’s allies, including Mordashov.
