Arrest of Russian spy in Britain

Today, April 26, it became known that legal proceedings have begun in Britain against 20-year-old Dylan Earl. The young man may have been working for Russian intelligence.

Allegedly, he set fire to a commercial property in London associated with Ukraine. He also attempted to recruit others for similar arson activities.

Russian spies have been detained multiple times in European countries. Specifically, their activities were aimed against Ukraine and Western assistance to Ukrainian defenders.
