UK investigates possible Russian involvement in Starmer arson attacks

  • British counter-terror police investigate three arson attacks in early May targeting properties connected to Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer in north London.
  • The incidents involved fires at the residence of Keir Starmer’s family, a previous apartment he possessed, and a vehicle once belonging to him, resulting in charges against three men as investigations continue into potential Russian connections.
  • Two Ukrainian nationals and one Romanian of Ukrainian origin have been formally accused of plotting to set fires in a way that could put lives at risk, and they remain detained pending a court appearance scheduled for June 6.
  • Prosecutor Sarah Przybylska described the conspiracy as "unexplained," while UK intelligence warns Russia aims to create disruption without necessarily causing serious harm.
  • The investigation continues with an open mind about motives, as officials warn Russian involvement could escalate tensions and the Prime Minister calls the attacks an assault on democracy.
