A British court convicted three men of arson in a March 2024 attack on a London warehouse storing Ukrainian supplies, a plot linked to Russian intelligence. The arson, one of over 70 incidents attributed to Russia since 2022, was orchestrated by a Russian handler who recruited a young British man via Telegram. European intelligence officials express concern over escalating sabotage, noting a shift towards untrained operatives carrying out increasingly dangerous acts, including arson and potential bombings. Russia denies involvement, while the convicted men face sentencing.
