Squatters have invaded the £25million London mansion of a Russian oligarch in protest over the war in Ukraine.
Police were called to the property in Belgrave Square in the early hours of Monday morning and found a number of people had gained entry to the building.
Ukrainian flags have been hung from the upstairs windows and a banner reading, 'The property has been liberated' and 'Putin go f*** yourself'. The oligarch in question is reportedly Oleg Deripaska and the property is believed to be worth £25million. A spokesman for the Met Police said: "Police were called shortly after 01:00hrs on Monday, 14 March to a residential property in Belgrave Square, SW1.
"Officers attended and found that a number of people had gained entry and hung banners from upstairs windows. Officers remain at the location."
