A super yacht owned by a Russian oligarch is stuck in a Norwegian port because no-one will sell it fuel.
The Ragnar is owned by Vladimir Strzhalkovsky, a former KGB agent who has been linked to Russian President Vladimir Putin . He is not on the EU sanctions list.
The yacht has been stranded at The Port of Narvik since 15 February.
" We find the discrimination against us, extremely unjust, " the yacht's captain, Robert Lankester, wrote in a message.
The British captain pointed out that none of The Crew is Russian.
" We Are a Western crew of 16, " he told Norwegian public broadcaster NRK. " We have nothing to do with the owner. "
But local fuel suppliers say they do not want to help entities associated with Russia.
" Why should we help them? " Holmlund Oil Service's general manager, Sven Holmlund, told NRK.
" They can row home. Or use a sail. "
Mr Strzhalkovsky is the former head of mining giant Norilsk Nickel.
The 68-metre yacht includes a room designed to resemble a British pub, while also boasting heli-skiing equipment, four ski scooters and a Giant Slide , according to Boat International .
