A federal judge in New York on Monday signed a warrant authorizing the seizure by the Justice Department of two jets owned by Russian oligarch Roman Abramovich.

The seizure effort is the latest in a series of sanctions and economic attacks on Russian billionaires in response to their nation’s invasion of Ukraine.

The jets tied to Abramovich are a Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, and a Gulfstream G650ER.

The Boeing is currently in Dubai, and the Gulfstream is in Russia, according to court records.
