    If someone has time to read, there is an interesting article about that.
    https://jewishcurrents.org/our-oligarch

    To make it short, I report an extract from it.

    As geopolitical tensions mounted last month, Abramovich seemed to step up his giving. Just two days before Putin launched his invasion of Ukraine, it was reported that Abramovich is donating tens of millions of dollars to Yad Vashem, the global Holocaust remembrance center in Jerusalem. Perhaps not coincidentally, in a letter sent to the US ambassador to Israel in early February and made public after the invasion, Yad Vashem chairman Dani Dayan joined the heads of multiple Israeli charitable organizations in urging the US not to sanction Abramovich. The letter was also signed by Chief Rabbi of Israel David Lau and representatives of Sheba Medical Center, Tel Aviv University, and Elad. In a column for Haaretz, Israeli journalist Noa Landau noted that organizations like Yad Vashem have become increasingly dependent on private donations, which may explain why Dayan “finds himself lobbying on behalf of the donor Abramovich in a situation Yad Vashem should not be involved in under any circumstances.” (Yad Vashem did not reply to a request for comment.)

    Ofran suggested that Abramovich likely made the most recent donation “in order to buy the support of Yad Vashem, which is supposed to represent the Jewish remembrance of the Holocaust.” “I think it’s a cynical donation, and that Yad Vashem shouldn’t have taken it,” she said. “And even once they took it, they shouldn’t have written this letter.”

    Ahahaha the Yad Vashem, Israel's Holocaust Martyrs’ and Heroes’ Remembrance Authority, has just announced that it has suspended its ties to Russian-Israeli billionaire RA, over his past connections with Russian President VP.

    What a strange coincidence.

    Anyway, Eclipse is joining Solaris, right now is not too far from Santa Cruz island heading toward Gibraltar.

    I received a message from Marine Traffic at 07:54 UTC saying that Solaris is drifting or not under command in front of the port of Montenegro

    She has left Tivat now and cruising south interestingly with the destination as 'Awaiting Orders'. Almost like a freighter.

    She is waiting for the Commander in Chief...Eclipse.
    ...that is out of range

    Is it normal that Eclipse is cruising on a very high-volume marine route with the AIS switched off?
