UK Court Convicts Three Men in Russia-Linked Arson Attack

A UK jury has convicted three men—Jakeem Rose, Ugnius Asmena, and Nii Mensah—of aggravated arson for their roles in a March 2024 attack on a London warehouse storing supplies for Ukraine.

Authorities revealed that the attack was orchestrated by agents of Russia's Wagner mercenary group, acting on behalf of Russian military intelligence.

The arson caused approximately £1 million in damages and is part of a broader campaign of disruption attributed to Moscow and its proxies.

Sentencing is scheduled for the fall.
