A penthouse apartment being owned by Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky is now being sold by Russia. As per the announcement, the proceeds from the sale would directly go into funding the war.

The penthouse apartment being sold was described as a "luxury" one and happened after a vote took place for the nationalization of the apartment owned by Zelenskyy. The nationalization of the apartment was directly with the intent of selling it.

The vote came from Crimean State Officials, who were placed into position in 2014 when Moscow annexed the peninsula. The Kremlin and Russian President Vladimir Putin himself reportedly installed them.

The announcement was released by TASS, the Russian state media, which included the statement of the legislature's speaker, Vladimir Konstantinov, who noted that "of course, it's not a big loss for him."

As reported by The Telegraph, this wasn't the only property that was voted on to become nationalized. There were reportedly also 60 other properties that were owned by public figures of Ukraine.

Crimean governor Sergey Aksyonov announced the news and gave a statement saying, "Enemies of Russia won't be making money in Russian Crimea."

In March, both Russia and China agreed that there would be no winners should a nuclear war ever happen. Putin stated during that time that "it should never be unleashed" and that they stood for what was described as the "equal and indivisible security for all members of the world community."

In April, Russia conducted the first test launch of the new Sarmat, an intercontinental ballistic missile capable of mounting nuclear strikes.

Recently, it was reported that Russia was suffering the worst labor shortage it ever had since 25 years ago, meaning the country hadn't experienced this much shortage since the late 1990s. This came from a survey conducted by the central bank of Russia, which looked at 14,000 employees from non-financial sectors.
