💨 Abstract

Security services and police are investigating possible Russian involvement in arson attacks on properties linked to Sir Keir Starmer. A Georgian restaurant in London is under scrutiny. Investigators are considering if Moscow recruited private operatives or criminals. Three men—two Ukrainians and a Romanian—have been charged with conspiracy to commit arson. All three have denied awareness of any Russian involvement. Starmer, a vocal critic of Russia, has called the fires an attack on democracy.
