'When the House of Representatives reconvenes, I intend to formally introduce the Bringing Oligarch Accountability Through Seizure (BOATS) Act,' Congressman Don Young wrote in a press release.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Congressman Don Young has begun work on legislation that would allow for the federal government to seize Russian-owned yachts, commercial vessels, and Russian-owned vessels flying flags of convenience from other nations.
“America and the rest of the freedom-loving world continue to stand with the Ukrainian people in this time of needless violence and infringement on sovereignty,” Young said in a press release. “This is a very difficult moment for Europe, and our solidarity with Ukraine must be backed with urgent action against rich Russian oligarchs who continue living lavish lifestyles on mega-yachts, all while their thuggish friend Vladimir Putin reigns terror upon innocent, peaceful Ukrainians.
“We must send a message of zero tolerance for Russian aggression, which requires us to make life as difficult as possible for Putin’s sycophants,” Young said in the release. “Taking action against Putin and standing with Ukraine has united our country. There is broad bipartisan consensus that Putin’s violence must be met with action, therefore I call on my friends in both parties to join me in this vital effort.
