The 22-year-old Ukrainian builder had been weaponised to target the UK’s head of government. But by who?
…
The handler EL, who directed Lavrynovych, offered Russian citizenship in return for other attacks and glorified President Vladimir Putin, messages the BBC has uncovered show.
We have identified evidence suggesting that EL is a young Russian diplomat, schooled in information warfare by spies and propagandists, who is close to the highest levels of power in Moscow. His name is Evgeny Lyukshin. He is 23 and the son of a senior official.
It’s plausible. Russian intelligence services have adopted the same basic tactics used by the CIA, the FBI, SIS, Mossad, and similar services to cultivate extremists as tools of regime change.
And we’ve got a wealth of evidence to support the theory that these agencies use the Internet as a vector of that radicalization.
Whether you believe the BBC (an organ of state media) when it pins the blame on one spy agency over another? I guess that depends on how much you trust them.
Secret agencies are alike in that respect: they reveal truth partially and only when it’s beneficial, else they can create a narrative weakly supported by coincidences and ‘evidence’ that wouldn’t hold in most courts.

My question, is why would Russian target him? Starmer is doing everything possible to throw the country to Reform. I call bullshit.
