Lithuania has accused Russia of being behind an attack on exiled Russian opposition activist Leonid Volkov, a close ally of Alexey Navalny, who died last month in a remote penal colony.
Gitanas Nauseda, president of the small Baltic nation, said on Wednesday that the overnight attack on Volkov, perpetrated outside the dissident’s home in Vilnius by a hammer-wielding assailant, was clearly premeditated and ties in with other provocations against Lithuania.
