Summary
Lithuanian prosecutors accused Russia’s GRU of orchestrating a 2024 arson attack on an Ikea store in Vilnius, calling it “an act of terrorism.”
Two Ukrainian suspects were involved, one detained in Lithuania and the other in Poland. Authorities linked the attack to broader sabotage efforts, including planned arsons in Lithuania and Latvia for €10,000.
Poland is investigating about 30 similar cases.
Polish PM Donald Tusk condemned Russia’s use of Ukrainians for sabotage, reinforcing suspicions of Russian intelligence operations in the region.
EU countries should start targeting Russians responsibile for these crimes. Actions have consequences.
Apparently not anymore they don’t. Shrug.
In the EU they do. There’s a reason we get more consumer protections from American companies from the EU than our own agencies.
