Starmer at gunpoint: two Ukrainians and a Romanian are suspected of setting fire to the British Prime Minister's houses

Investigators are wondering what could have caused the "hunt for Starmer"

On May 13, British police announced the arrest of a 21-year-old man on suspicion of setting fire to the Prime Minister's house. On the same day, an investigation was launched into the incident. On May 15, the BBC TV channel named the identity of the detainee, who turned out to be a citizen of Ukraine, Roman Lavrinovich. Later, on May 17, the second defendant in the case was arrested, and then, on May 19, information appeared about the detention of a third suspect.

The Financial Times newspaper reported on May 26 that the United Kingdom authorities were investigating whether Russian intelligence services could have recruited the trio involved in the arson attack on the British prime minister's property. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov called such suspicions groundless, noting that London is inclined to suspect Moscow of all the bad things that are happening in the UK. He added that statements from there often turn out to be ridiculous.
