Two individuals have been apprehended in Poland on suspicion of assaulting Russian opposition activist Leonid Volkov, a close associate of the late activist Alexei Navalny, as announced by the Lithuanian president on Friday.
Volkov was the target of an attack in March outside his residence in Vilnius, the Lithuanian capital, where he currently resides in exile. The assailant reportedly broke one of the windows of his vehicle, sprayed tear gas into his eyes, and struck him with a hammer, according to police reports at the time.
