We stand by you! Cheers and fight Putin!
Well...Until a week ago, many were screaming 'fascists', 'we want our freedom'. So, to follow the same logic, this guy was free to sink the yacht, as Mr Putler is free to do what he's doing in Ukraine. Because everybody must have freedom, right? So now, if the ones that were screaming for freedom are saying otherwise, they are plain hypocrites...
Well done Taras, the civilised world needs more people like you. Shame on Majorca for allowing the Russian to Dock in the first place. Especially an arms dealer.
The Yacht is valued at MUCH MORE than 7 million euros !!!!
