Here's an idea for the Oligarchs' mega-yachts...
Seize and impound the lot of them. Then form a joint venture company with Ukraine to remodel them slightly, and run them for 5 years as a luxury cruise line running high-priced cruising tours and generating lots of revenue.
After 5 years, their "luxury" factor and the novelty will wear off a bit and they can be refitted to a less-exalted level of accommodation and service and run as a combination eco-tourism and citizen-science fleet doing research tours and project-based engagement on climate change and mitigation. Maybe another 5-10 years doing that, with the "tourist" end paying the bulk of the expenses.
After that, refit and recommission them as a mercy fleet, with hospital facilities, refugee facilities, environmental action services, disaster response, etc.
Ukraine, if they wish, can have the lead role in coordinating the project, and receive a share of revenue from those first 5 years as some reparations from the oligarchs who supported the P* regime.
Just a thought.
creatively,
Bright
