The flames in the former base of the RAF and the shadows of a Russian sabotage
Three dead in an industrial complex near Oxford, the last of a series of similar episodes. The Kremlin spies act in Europe and rely on low -cost manovalanza
A thick blanket of mystery wraps the Fires of various kinds that have flared up in Great Britain over the past week. The last, of devastating proportions, hit one Former Base of RAF, the British military aviationlocated in Bicester, near Oxford: three people, including two firefighters, died, while two other firefighters are in the hospital in critical conditions.
The site currently hosts various Active companies in the air and motorization field: The stake turned on in the late afternoon of Thursday and only yesterday morning was tamed, with an operation that saw the intervention of dozens of firefighters, police cars and ambulances. The witnesses said they heard different explosions, first as fireworks, then stronger, finally as a thunder: debris fell from the sky and the inhabitants of the area was recommended to close at home.
Not a word was called on the possible causes of the fire and the open investigation is not at the time of the criminal type, even if the police reserve a review based on the tests that will emerge. The Prime Minister Keir Starmer He spoke of « devastating news ».
And just The head of the government was instead the target of three incendiary attacksfor whom a 21 -year -old Ukrainian, Roman Lavrynovych was arrested and offended. The first episode took place on Thursday last week, when a car that belonged to Starmer until last year was on fire while it was parked on the street; Then, on the night between Saturday and Sunday, there was an attempt to set fire to a home that had belonged to the premier in the 90s; Finally, in the early hours of Monday, it was The door of the Starmer family house set on fire In Kentish Town, the north district of London, who is currently rented to his sister -in -law.
The sequence of attacks is investigating anti -terrorism and investigators have not excluded ties with « foreign actors ». Starmer himself denounced the incident as a « assault on democracy ».
History is mirrored – pending developments – with what has happened for over a year in numerous European countries. With a scheme that became a signature. Repetitive, « economic » because the « spent » pay. Used elements, throw, caught in a vast sea of people « on offer », ready to collaborate in exchange for money.
The Germans have just arrested two Ukrainians and a third was delivered by the Swiss, a detention permitted by the blowing of an intelligence. They sent packs with GPS to test the movements of goods and things from German territory to Ukraine. A test in view of possible sabotage against shipments of war material. The modus operandi developed on an axis consisting of three points: a contact person in Russia, a facilitator in Western Europe and then the manovalanza. The story immediately recalled the explosions aboard Jet DHL that took place in Leipzig and Birmingham in the summer of a year ago: attacks attributed to the Russians.
The Poles, in turn, have put their hands on another Ukrainian, a sympathizer of the cause of the Kremlin hooked through an intermediary. He had received instructions on how to set a fire and for this he had conducted reconnaissance in a shopping center. If he had concluded the « work » he would have collected 4 thousand euros. However, they arrested him before he could combine other troubles. Heavy. Like those caused by the flames that destroyed a covered market in Warsaw still in the summer of 2024: attack – accused the Polish government – inspired by Moscow and for which several people ended up in prison. A no different sabotage had devastated an Ikea warehouse in Lithuania. Who were the culprits? Two still two Ukrainians piloted by the crane, Russian military service.
Almost every born country has produced information on the « hybrid war » launched by the Kremlin. Immediately after the invasion of Ukraine, The alliance has expelled dozens of Russian diplomats suspected of being spies and this has deprived the opponent of many « eyes and ears ». A gap filled with less experienced staff, « amateur » pawns, foreigners. The case of the Bulgarian group is surprising, just sentenced by a British court and « inspired » by Austrian businessman Jan Marsalk, an influence agent responsible for a sensational infiltration in security. Once the moles are placed, he ran away to Russia.
