Second Ukrainian national charged in UK PM arson probe

Police also detained a Romanian national in connection with three separate incidents in north London supposedly connected to Keir Starmer

A Ukrainian national has been charged in connection with arson attacks in London targeting a “high-profile public figure,” the Metropolitan Police announced on Wednesday. Several media outlets earlier reported that the arsonists had set fire to properties that belonged or used to belong to UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

According to the police, “Petro Pochynok, 34… has been charged with conspiracy to commit arson with intent to endanger life.” The man was apprehended on Monday and became a third suspect.

The arson attacks at the center of the investigation are said to have taken place in rapid succession earlier this month: a vehicle was set ablaze on May 8, a fire was lit at the entrance of a property on May 11, and one more similar incident happened at a residential address on May 12.

The authorities stopped short of naming the supposed target, noting, however, that all three cases “have connections with a high-profile public figure, and therefore officers from the Met’s Counter Terrorism Command led the investigation.”


According to The Telegraph newspaper, the first incident saw a Toyota Rav4 set ablaze in Kentish Town, a neighborhood of London. The vehicle had reportedly previously belonged to Starmer but was later sold to a neighbor.

Media reports have further claimed that on May 11, a fire broke out at the entrance of a flat in Islington that Starmer is said to have owned in the 1990s. The last of the three suspected arson attacks reportedly targeted the prime minister’s current family home in Tufnell Park, which is being rented out to his sister-in-law. No injuries were reported in any of the incidents.

Addressing the UK Parliament last week, Starmer described the alleged arsons as an “attack on all of us, on democracy and the values that we stand for.”

As part of the same investigation, another Ukrainian national, Roman Lavrynovych, 21 years of age, was charged with three counts of arson with intent to endanger life and was remanded in custody by Westminster Magistrates’ Court last Friday.

On Tuesday, 26-year-old Stanislav Carpiuc, who holds Romanian citizenship, was charged with conspiracy to commit arson with intent to endanger life, and similarly remanded in custody until a further hearing alongside Lavrynovych, slated for June 6.

The Telegraph reported that investigators are looking into a number of potential motives, including the involvement of a hostile state.
