Russia Denies Role in PM Starmer’s House Fires

The Kremlin has forcefully rejected allegations of Russian involvement in a series of arson attacks targeting properties connected to Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, dismissing the claims as “ludicrous” and “groundless.”

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated Monday that Britain routinely blames Moscow for domestic incidents without evidence, as UK security services reportedly investigate potential Kremlin links to three suspicious fires earlier this month.

Meanwhile, the Metropolitan Police have charged three individuals in connection with the incidents: Ukrainian nationals Petro Pochynok, 34, and Roman Lavrynovych, 21, along with Romanian Stanislav Carpiuc, 26.

All face serious charges including conspiracy to commit arson with intent to endanger life. The suspects remain in custody ahead of their next Old Bailey hearing on 6 June.

The investigation centers on three May incidents:
1.May 8: A car Starmer sold to a neighbor burned in Kentish Town
2.May 11: A small fire at the door of his 1990s Islington residence
3.May 12: Blaze at the Prime Minister’s private Kentish Town home

Sir Keir has already condemned the attacks as targeting “democratic values,” while Downing Street and Metropolitan Police declined to comment on reports of MI5 examining potential Russian involvement. Several UK newspapers cite unnamed Whitehall officials suggesting possible Kremlin coordination.

Why It Matters

The allegations emerge amid heightened UK-Russia tensions following the Salisbury poisonings and London’s strong support for Ukraine. Security analysts note the charged suspects’ nationalities could suggest either Kremlin proxy operations or false flag scenarios.

The Old Bailey proceedings will be closely watched as authorities work to establish motives and potential foreign connections behind the property attacks.

At the moment, the Metropolitan Police’s Counter Terrorism Command is understood to be assisting with the ongoing investigation as forensic teams examine all three fire scenes for potential links.
