💨 Abstract

In London, the trial of six men accused of arson at a business linked to Ukraine's war efforts has begun. Prosecutors allege the attack was planned by Russia's Wagner mercenary group, which the UK considers a terrorist organization. The March 2024 fire caused $1.35 million in damage. Prosecutors also claim there were plans for similar attacks on two other businesses owned by a Russian dissident. Two defendants have already admitted their roles.
