Activists say they broke into a French seaside villa owned by Putin's former son-in-law and changed

locks so Ukrainian refugees can live there

A group of activists said they took over a French seaside villa belonging to Russian President Vladimir Putin's former son-in-law, saying they want to use it to house Ukrainian refugees.

Pierre Haffner, Vladimir Osechkin, and Sergey Saveliev posted videos and images showing an activist flying the Ukrainian flag from the balcony of the Alta Maria villa in Biarritz on Sunday.

The house, which the activists said has eight bedrooms and three bathrooms, is registered to Kirill Shamalov, the independent Russian investigative website The Insider reported. Shamalov was previously married to Katerina Tikhonova, one of Putin's daughters.

The villa was previously registered to the Russian oligarch Gennady Timchenko, The Insider reported. Insider was not able to independently verify the property ownership details.
