Poland arrests two people following brutal attack on Navalny ally in Lithuania – POLITICO

Volkov was beaten outside his home in Vilnius in March, with his colleagues saying he was tear-gassed in the eyes and hit with a hammer.

“They broke the window of his car and sprayed tear gas into his eyes, after which the attacker began to hit Leonid with a hammer,” wrote Kira Yarmysh, another member of Navalny’s team. Navalny, a longtime thorn in the flesh of Russian President Vladimir Putin, died at age 47 in an Arctic prison in February.

Volkov said Friday morning: “I don’t know any further details yet, but I can say: I saw with what energy and perseverance the Lithuanian police worked on this case over the past month, and I am very happy that the work was effective.

Lithuanian counterintelligence accused Russian special services of being behind the attack.
