Russian spies have been accused of attacking an Ikea store in Lithuania 'because it had the same colours as the Ukrainian flag'.

Russian spies reportedly set fire to an Ikea store in Lithuania because it had the same colours as the Ukrainian flag, in what is being called an act of “terror”. The agents are being accused of an arson attack on the shop in Vilnius in May 2024.

Lithuanian prosecutors accused Russia's military intelligence on Monday of orchestrating an arson attack on an IKEA store in Vilnius in May, and suggested it may have been targeted because the chain's logo uses the same colours as Ukraine's flag.
