The Kremlin dismissed as “laughable” recent reports that Russia may have been behind a series of arson attacks targeting properties linked to British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov responded Monday to claims reported by the Financial Times, which cited unnamed UK security officials suggesting Moscow’s involvement.
British authorities arrested a second suspect Saturday in connection with a string of arson attacks targeting property linked to Prime Minister Keir Starmer. The 26-year-old was detained at Luton Airport on suspicion of conspiracy to commit arson with intent to endanger life, according to police.
British Prime Minister Keir Starmer is set to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday, February 27, 2025, in Washington, D.C., aiming to secure American backing for Ukraine in potential ceasefire agreements with Russia. Starmer has warned that any ceasefire without a strong security guarantee could allow Russian President Vladimir Putin to regroup and renew hostilities.
