Russia-linked arson attacks show bad actors targeting UK, says Starmer
The UK is under attack from bad actors seeking to 'exploit division' and 'destabilise democracy', according to the prime minister, citing arson attacks on property linked to Keir Starmer. Roman Lavrynovych and Stanislav Carpiuc were found guilty of conspiring to carry out these attacks, with evidence suggesting they operated under a Russian-linked handler.
