Russia allegedly paid a Ukrainian teenager to firebomb an Ikea store as part of its “hybrid war” on the West, US media reported on Thursday.
Russian spies are said to have offered the 17-year-old $11,000 (£8,000) in cash and a BMW to carry out the attack on an Ikea store in the Lithuanian capital of Vilnius, the New York Times reported.
The agents communicated with him via the encrypted Chinese messenger app Zengi, under the James Bond-inspired alias of Q, Lithuanian prosecutors allege.
