Overview

  • The arson attacks occurred between May 8 and May 12, targeting a former residence, a current family home, and a car linked to Keir Starmer in North London.
  • Three men—Roman Lavrynovych, Petro Pochynok, and Stanislav Carpiuc—have been charged with arson-related offenses but deny the allegations.
  • MI5 is examining whether the suspects have ties to Vladimir Putin's regime, though no direct evidence of Kremlin involvement has been found so far.
  • The Metropolitan Police's Counter Terrorism Command is leading the investigation due to the connection to a high-profile public figure.
  • Prime Minister Keir Starmer has condemned the attacks as an assault on democracy and the values upheld by the UK.
