Two men have been found guilty of planning a series of arson attacks on properties and a car belonging to British Prime Minister Keir Starmer.

兩名男子被裁定計劃對英國首相基爾·斯塔默的財產及一輛汽車進行一系列縱火襲擊有罪。

The court convicted Roman Lavrynovych and Stanislav Carpiuc for their roles in a planned campaign in May 2025. Evidence showed that the men were recruited through the Telegram app by a person known as 'El Money.' This handler gave them technical instructions on how to make flammable materials and told them which locations to target, including a former car of the Prime Minister and two homes. Although the Home Office described the attacks as terrible, the prosecution did not use the National Security Act of 2023. Consequently, the court did not formally prove that a foreign government was involved.

法院判定 Roman Lavrynovych 與 Stanislav Carpiuc 在 2025 年 5 月的一項計劃行動中扮演角色而定罪。證據顯示，這兩人是透過 Telegram 應用程式被一名化名為 "El Money" 的人士招募。該接頭人向他們提供了如何製作易燃物質的技術指令，並告知他們應攻擊的目標，包括首相曾使用過的一輛汽車與兩棟住宅。儘管內政部將這些襲擊描述為極其駭人，但檢方並未使用 2023 年的《國家安全法》。因此，法院並未正式證明有外國政府參與。

Despite the legal limits of the trial, intelligence reports suggest a connection between the attacks and the Russian state. Former security officials, including Sir Richard Moore, asserted that these types of operations fit Moscow's strategy of using secret sabotage to frighten countries that support Ukraine. Furthermore, reports from the BBC and Kyiv Post identify 'El Money' as Evgeny Lyukshin, a 23-year-old Russian diplomat. It is alleged that he recruits vulnerable foreigners and uses social media to create divisions within society.

儘管審判存在法律限制，但情報報告顯示這些襲擊與俄羅斯政府有關。包括 Sir Richard Moore 在內的前安全官員主張，這類行動符合莫斯科利用秘密破壞活動來威嚇支持烏克蘭國家的策略。此外，BBC 與 Kyiv Post 的報告將 "El Money" 認定為 23 歲的俄羅斯外交官 Evgeny Lyukshin。據稱他招募弱勢外國人，並利用社群媒體在社會內部製造分歧。

Responses within the UK government have been mixed. Counterterrorism police stated that there was not enough evidence to prove a state-backed threat in court. However, some political figures, such as Kemi Badenoch, emphasized that the UK must improve its national defense and resources. Meanwhile, the Russian Embassy has denied any involvement and dismissed the claims as baseless.

英國政府內部的反應不一。反恐警察表示，目前缺乏足夠證據在法庭上證明這是由國家支持的威脅。然而，部分政治人物如 Kemi Badenoch 強調，英國必須改善國家防禦與資源。與此同時，俄羅斯大使館否認任何參與，並指稱這些指控毫無根據。

The attackers have been punished by the law, but the identity and government links of the person who organized the attacks remain a matter of intelligence reports rather than legal fact.

襲擊者已受到法律制裁，但組織襲擊者的身份及其與政府的聯繫，目前仍屬於情報報告而非法律事實。
