Russian spies have been accused of orchestrating an arson attack on an Ikea furniture store in Lithuania last year. The fire broke out in May in a store in the capital of Vilnius, which officials suspect may have been targeted because Ikea uses the same colours as the Ukraine flag.

VILNIUS - Lithuanian prosecutors accused Russia's military intelligence on March 17 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.
