A London court has scheduled an April 2026 trial for two Ukrainian men and one Romanian charged with arson attacks targeting properties connected to Prime Minister Kier Starmer. The attacks occurred in May and included a car and two houses, with no casualties reported. Investigations by British counterterrorism have raised questions about potential Russian intelligence involvement in recruiting the men. Ukrainian authorities are cooperating in the investigation, as military intelligence warned of increased recruitment efforts by Russian agencies targeting Ukrainians.
Starmer has described the arson as 'an attack on all of us, on our democracy, and the values we stand for.' This highlights the broader implications of such acts.
Authorities are investigating whether Russian intelligence was involved in recruiting the Ukrainian men for these attacks, signaling a potential international dimension to the incidents.
