Sanctions
As a result of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, Roman Abramovich is subject to international sanctions which have seen seizures of yachts owned by those believed to have links to the Kremlin. Since 2022 both Solaris and Abramovich's flagship motor yacht Eclipse have been moved to countries that decline to impose the sanctions, and as of 2023 have evaded seizure.
Media reported the yacht, which was in Barcelona for repairs, put to sea on March 8, 2022, as yacht seizures began to escalate. She was in port at Tivat, Montenegro, March 12–14, then was determined to be in Turkish waters.{{cite news|title=Russian Oligarchs' Yachts Hit the High Seas
