Flotilla visits Russian oligarch's Northland property

From Morning Report, 6:14 am on 14 March 2022

The Northland property of Russian oligarch Alexander Abramov has been visited by a flotilla of boats, kayakers and stand up paddle boarders protesting against Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

The group - the 'Ukraine Peace Flotilla' - is asking the Government to freeze Abramov's assets, even though he's not named on the Foreign Ministry's travel ban list.

Greenpeace programme director Niamh O'Flynn was there on the weekend.

He spoke to Guyon Espiner.
