Tusk: Belarusier gripen – beordrade attack på Volkov
En belarusier som misstänks ha beordrat attacken mot Leonid Volkov, den ryska oppositionspolitikern Aleksej Navalnyjs tidigare stabschef, har gripits i Polen. Det skriver den polske premiärmnistern Donald Tusk på X.
”En belarusier som arbetar för Ryssland som beordrade två polacker att utföra attacken har gripits”, skriver han.
Tidigare på fredagen uppgav Litauens president Gitanas Nauseda att två män gripits i Polen för att ha utfört attacken. Volkov attackerades med tårgas och hammare utanför sitt hem i Litauens huvudstad Vilnius i mitten av mars.
