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.

Lithuanian prosecutors say Russia's military intelligence service GRU was behind an arson attack on an Ikea furniture store in the Baltic state's capital Vilnius last year. Two Ukrainian suspects have been arrested – one in Lithuania, the other in Poland – over the attack, which prosecutor Arturas Urbelis called "an act of terrorism".
