Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy did not purchase yachts with U.S. aid money. In fact, neither he, nor any of his associates, have bought the yachts listed in the viral posts at all. The yachts are still listed for sale.

Lucky Me is being sold by luxury yacht company BehneMar for €23 million ($24.8 million) and MY LEGACY is still being sold by Burgess for nearly €45 million ($48.5 million). The listings are still active on each company’s website.

“Burgess can confirm that MY LEGACY is currently for sale with Burgess as the exclusive listing brokerage house. We can confirm that the yacht has not been sold and therefore remains for sale,” a spokesperson for Burgess told VERIFY in an email.
