**Ukrainian Man Charged with Arson Following Fire at Home of U.K. Prime Minister**

LONDON - A blaze at a north London property belonging to U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer has led to serious charges against a young Ukrainian man. Authorities have charged 21-year-old Roman Lavrynovych with three counts of arson with intent to endanger life.

Lavrynovych, who resides in Sydenham in south east London, was apprehended on May 13 and has been detained since his arrest. His court appearance is scheduled for Friday, May 16, at Westminster Magistrates' Court.

Due to the sensitivity of the targeted properties, the Metropolitan Police’s counter-terror division has been spearheading the investigation. Bethan David, who heads the Crown Prosecution Service's Counter Terrorism Division, emphasized Lavrynovych's right to a fair trial as the legal proceedings unfold.

The incidents have intensified concerns over the safety measures surrounding politicians in the U.K., leading to expressions of support across the political spectrum despite existing rivalries. The heightened security scrutiny comes on the heels of the string of arson attacks linked to this case.
