DUTCH SEIZE 14 RUSSIAN YACHTS; POPE CONDEMNS 'MASSACRE' AT BUCHA  LIVE UKRAINE UPDATES

 

Will Russia be convicted of committing war crimes in Ukraine? Here's what we know.

Dutch customs officials placed 14 yachts at five shipyards under "special supervision" on Wednesday because they are being built or repaired for wealthy Russians.

 

Finance Minister Wopke Hoekstra said 12 yachts are under construction and two are undergoing maintenance. The boats will not be allowed to leave the country because of the export ban and sanctions imposed on hundreds of wealthy supporters of Russian President Vladimir Putin. The Netherlands has been criticized for its slow start to enforcing sanctions.
