Russia’s president, Vladimir Putin’s super yacht nicknamed Graceful, has been pictured leaving Germany back to Russia ahead of possible sanctions by the West as Russia reportedly plans to invade Ukraine.

The beautiful yacht boasts a spiral staircase, a swimming pool which can turn into a dancefloor and a helipad.

The £73.2 million yatcht, was originally built by Sevmash in Russia and has glossy sleek interiors, soft cushioned sofas and deck chairs, and a stylish white marble-styled bathroom. 

There is also an office room which contains multitudes of shelves for books and a desk fronted with a stunning painting of a sailing boat.
