In Britain, the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) has charged five men with crimes against national security on behalf of Russia.

The men are accused of setting fire to Ukraine-related commercial property in East London in March. Another man is charged with "possession of information relating to terrorist activity".

According to Sky News, 20-year-old Dylan Earle is linked to the outlawed PMC "Wagner". According to the version of the investigation, in addition to arson, he was involved in fraud, research and intelligence on targets, and tried to recruit people to help foreign intelligence services.

This is the first case in which charges have been brought under the new security law, which is designed to ensure a tougher end to hostile actions against Britain, including espionage, writes Bild.
