As the world watches the war unfold in Ukraine, many normal people with unique skills are done feeling helpless.

VICE World News speaks to an open-source information enthusiast, who is tracking the movements of Russian oligarchs’ superyachts.

These billionaires hold immense wealth and influence, and help prop up Putin’s regime.

But by tracking these yachts, everyday people can help keep the pressure on governments to seize these giant displays of wealth, thus (theoretically) eroding the oligarchs’ support of Putin. All this, in an attempt to help end the war in Ukraine.
