Biden says the US will seize yachts and luxury apartments from Russian oligarchs

Joe Biden says the US will form a special task force to seize “yachts, luxury apartments and private jets” from Russian billionaires*.

The US President made the announcement during his State of the Union address on Tuesday night, as he outlined the “powerful economic sanctions” being levied against Russia and its President Vladimir Putin over the invasion of Ukraine.

“The free world is holding him accountable, along with 27 members of the European Union including France, Germany, Italy as well as countries like the United Kingdom, Canada, Japan, Korea, Australia, New Zealand and many others, even Switzerland are inflicting pain on Russia and supporting the people of Ukraine,” Mr Biden said.

“Putin is now isolated from the world more than he has ever been. Together along with our allies, we’re right now enforcing powerful economic sanctions. We’re cutting off Russia’s largest banks (from the) international financial system. Preventing Russia’s Central Bank from defending the Russian rouble, making Putin’s $US630 billion war fund worthless. We’re choking Russia’s access to technology that will sap its economic strength and weaken it military for years to come.”
