Litauen: Troligt att Ryssland ligger bakom attacken
Litauens underrättelsetjänst uppger att det är troligt att Ryssland ligger bakom attacken mot Aleksej Navalnyjs tidigare stabschef Leonid Volkov, skriver Reuters.
Landets polis har startat en utredning och utlovar ”enorma resurser”, men man har ännu inte identifierat någon misstänkt.
Volkov attackerades utanför sitt hem i Vilnius på tisdagskvällen. Bara några timmar tidigare sa han i en intervju att han är rädd för sin säkerhet efter Navalnyjs död i ett ryskt fångläger i mitten av februari.
