Danil Bardadim

Seventeen-year-old Danil Bardadim fled Ukraine to Poland to escape the war, but he now faces terrorism charges in Lithuania for allegedly setting fire to an Ikea store. Investigators believe the attack was orchestrated by the Russian military intelligence service, GRU, as part of a broader pattern of sabotage against infrastructure in response to Western support for Ukraine. Bardadim's actions, which included planting an incendiary device in the store, have drawn attention to the troubling recruitment of Ukrainian teenagers for such operations amidst the ongoing conflict.
