Kremlin negotiator: Britain is not interested in the motives of the arson of Starmer's house by Ukrainians

No one in the UK is trying to understand the motives of the Ukrainians who tried to set fire to the house of the country's Prime Minister Keir Starmer, the story is crazy. This was stated by the Kremlin's negotiator with the United States — the special representative of the President of the Russian Federation for investment and economic cooperation with foreign countries Kirill Dmitriev.

"An ordinary day in the UK, where Starmer lives: five young models are arrested for trying to set fire to Starmer's previous house, his current house and his previous car. The traditional media hush up this story. No one is trying to understand the motives," he wrote in X.

As Dmitriev noted, this "story may be overshadowed by another more insane one next week."

As reported, the London police detained and released the fifth suspect in the arson case of the British Prime Minister's house and two other objects associated with the politician in May 2025 for the duration of the investigation. In October and November, at meetings held at the Central Criminal Court of London, the Old Bailey, the three accused of arson pleaded not guilty. These are two citizens of Ukraine — 21-year-old Roman Lavrinovich and 35-year-old Pyotr Pochinok, as well as a Romanian citizen, a native of Ukraine, 27-year-old Stanislav Karpyuk. They remain in custody, the hearing of the case on the merits at the Old Bailey is scheduled for April. In this case, in June 2025, another suspect, a 48-year-old man, was detained. However, neither his name nor nationality are called, and no charges have been brought against him.

Lavrinovich, Pochinok and Karpyuk are accused of involvement in the arson of not only the door of Starmer's private house worth 2 million pounds (about $ 2.7 million) in the Kentish Town area of north London, but also the old Toyota RAV4 car of the head of government, as well as an apartment in the Islington area, which belonged to the current Prime Minister from 1991 to The year is 1997. These incidents occurred between May 8 and 12, 2025. After the victory of the Labour Party in the parliamentary elections in July 2024, Starmer moved with his wife and children to a residence on Downing Street.
