Keir Starmer has denounced attempts to sow discord in the country following a series of arson attacks on his family’s property linked to Russia. The Prime Minister vowed to combat external forces seeking to undermine democracy, noting the conviction of two individuals associated with a shadowy Russian-speaking figure known as El Money.

Addressing reporters at the G7 summit, the PM emphasized the need to confront those seeking to divide the nation and exploit internal conflicts. He highlighted the impact of the arson attack on his family and underscored the importance of standing firm against efforts to destabilize democracy.

Two individuals, a Ukrainian and a Romanian, were found guilty of plotting property damage, including setting fire to a vehicle previously owned by Mr. Starmer. The PM expressed satisfaction that justice had been served for his family, emphasizing the significance of the attacks in the context of supporting Ukraine against Russian aggression.

During the G7 summit, the UK announced new sanctions against Russia as a demonstration of strength against Vladimir Putin’s regime. Additionally, the government disclosed imposing its largest-ever penalty for breaching Russian financial sanctions since the Ukraine invasion, levying a £1 million fine on a technology firm for repeated violations.
