A series of arson attacks associated with Keir Starmer had nothing to do with Russia, according to a Kremlin official.
A house currently rented out by the British prime minister in Kentish Town was targeted this month, as well as another property in Islington where he used to live, plus a car Starmer sold to a neighbour in 2024.
In response to a suspected Russian influence, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has now rubbished the notion, calling it "false, unsubstantiated" and "ridiculous".
There were no casualties recorded from the attacks.
Police arrested fashion entrepreneur Pochynok in the West London area of Chelsea.
All three have been remanded in custody and are due to appear at the Old Bailey on Friday, June 6.
Scotland Yard refused to comment on the case, with sources at the Met claiming they are "keeping an open mind" regarding the attacks.
Meanwhile, a UK government source made it clear that the investigators are yet to "connect the dots" that would definitively put the Kremlin on trial.
This comes after Russian broadcaster Vladimir Solovyov malevolently addressed Starmer's 'coalition of the willing' with threats of World War III.

Police recently charged two Ukrainians (Roman Lavrynovych and Petro Pochynok) and a Romanian (Stanislav Carpiuc) over three separate incidents, with senior sources revealing that MI5 is examining a potential connection to Vladimir Putin.

Per The Daily Mail, aspiring model Lavrynovych was the first of the three suspects to be arrested in the early hours of Tuesday, May 13, while counter-terrorism officers at Luton Airport detained Carpiuc just as he was about to catch a flight to his native Romania several days later.
