2 suspects detained in Poland for attack on a Navalny ally in Lithuania
Associated PressVILNIUS, Lithuania — Two men have been detained in Poland on suspicion that they attacked Russian activist Leonid Volkov — an ally of the late opposition leader Alexei Navalny — on the orders of foreign intelligence services, officials said Friday. In Poland, Joanna Adamowicz, the spokesperson for a Warsaw court, said that the two men were put under arrest until May 13, on suspicion that “they had organized on the territory of the Lithuanian Republic an assault and caused damage to the health of Russian citizen L. W.,” while “being active in an organized group and carrying out the orders of the special services of an alien country.” Volkov’s last name is spelled with a “W” in Polish. Poland’s Central Investigation Bureau of Police confirmed that its officers worked with Lithuanian police to arrest two people suspected of an attack on a Russian opposition activist in Lithuania in March. Volkov said on X, formerly Twitter, that he didn’t know the details of the arrest, but “saw how energetically and persistently the Lithuanian police have worked over the past month on this case” and was “very glad that this work has paid off.” “As for the details, we will find them out soon.
