Are all of those mega yachts getting boarded not considered seized?

That is my understanding. The property still belongs to the owners

IIRC, there are efforts being made to outright seize stuff like the yachts, sell them, and give the proceeds to Ukraine. I'm not completely up on the details, though. I think some criteria might be if the property is de-facto owned by the Russian state, or was acquired due to corrupt association with it.

What good is paper ownership if you can't actually use your property?
You get it back eventually
