Russia suspected in UK property fires

Authorities revealed that a series of arson attacks targeting properties linked to U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer were orchestrated by suspects recruited and directed by a Russian-speaking handler. The plot involved promises of payment and offered Russian citizenship in exchange for carrying out the attacks, which occurred over five days in May 2025. Two men, a Ukrainian and a Romanian national, were convicted in connection with the crimes, while a third defendant was acquitted. The investigation suggests the Russian operatives used social media and Telegram to coordinate the campaign and promote disinformation.
