A Ukrainian sailor accused of trying to sink his Russian boss's luxury yacht as payback for Russia's invasion of Ukraine says he has no regrets, despite being taken into custody.

According to the newspaper Ultima Hora, the 55-year-old sailor had been working as chief engineer on the $8-million yacht for 10 years and attempted to sink the boat while it was docked in Mallorca, Spain over the weekend by opening valves in the ship's engine room.

He decided to try to sink the boat as "revenge" after watching video of a Russian helicopter attack on a civilian building in Ukraine's capital city of Kyiv, according to court documents cited in the newspaper.
