In a high-profile case, a Ukrainian man, Roman Lavrynovych, has been found guilty of conducting an arson attack on properties associated with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer. The jury at London's Old Bailey Court rendered the verdict on Monday.

The incidents, taking place over several days in May last year, involved fires at a house in north London linked to Starmer, another nearby property, and a vehicle owned by the British leader at the time. Lavrynovych's actions were deemed as committed with intent to endanger life.

While Lavrynovych faced conviction, fellow Ukrainian, Petro Pochynok, was acquitted of the same charge. Another co-defendant, Romanian Stanislav Carpiuc, was also found guilty of conspiracy to commit arson, highlighting an international dimension to the case.
