The Russian luxury yacht Graceful, said to be the personal vessel of Russian President Vladimir Putin, has appeared on radar for the first time in almost four years, Danish public broadcaster DR reported.
According to data from Marinetraffic.com, the vessel sailed along the northern coast of Denmark on Monday.
DR reported that from Sunday morning it had been accompanied by two Russian warships as well as alternately by the Danish navy and the German coastguard.
“The armed forces routinely monitor vessels, including foreign state vessels, transiting Danish straits and territorial waters, using the capacities designated for this purpose,” the Danish armed forces told DR.
By Monday evening, however, Graceful was no longer sending a signal, according to Marinetraffic.com.
According to DR, the yacht had switched off its AIS transmitter, used to broadcast its location, in August 2022 – around six months after the start of Russia’s war against Ukraine.
