Attack on Navalny's ex-right-hand man: Lithuania suspects the involvement of “Russian special services”. Leonid Volkov, one of Russia's main opposition figures, was beaten outside his home in Vilnius on March 12.
Lithuanian intelligence services, which quickly spoke of an attack likely "organized by Russia", have now indicated they suspect it was carried out by someone recruited locally. “It appears to be the work of the Russian special services, apparently through a recruited person,” intelligence chief Darius Jauniskis said on Thursday.
