A Ukrainian sailor was arrested on Saturday for trying to sink a luxury yacht that belongs to his Russian boss. Taras Ostapchuk, 55, reportedly opened valves in the engine room of the 156-foot vessel in an attempt to flood it as a form of protest against Russia's invasion of Ukraine. The yacht was docked at Mallorca in Spain when Mr Ostapchuk, a ship engineer, tried to sink it, reports BBC.
He was arrested by Spain's Civil Guard on Saturday and appeared in court on Sunday, where he told the judge he did not regret his actions.
"I don't regret anything I've done and I would do it again," the Ukrainian said, according to the Majorca Daily Bulletin. He said his boss is "a criminal who sells weapons that kill the Ukrainian people."
