“In Poland, two individuals suspected of assaulting Russian opposition leader Leonid Volkov have been detained. I thank the Republic of Poland for its excellent work. We discussed this with Polish President Andrzej Duda. I thanked him for the excellent cooperation,” said Nausėda, as quoted by Lithuanian media.

The president also thanked Lithuanian authorities and informed them that “soon, after procedural steps are taken, these individuals will be transferred to Lithuania.” As added later by the Lithuanian police, those seized were Polish citizens.

Volkov also expressed satisfaction with the suspects’ arrests.

“I don’t know any details yet, but I can say that I have seen how energetically and persistently the Lithuanian police worked on this case over the past month, and I am very happy that this work has yielded results,” Volkov wrote on platform X. “We will soon learn more details. I can't wait,” he added.

Volkov is the former chief of staff to Alexei Navalny, the leader of the Russian opposition, who died in February in a penal colony near the Arctic Circle. The attack occurred in Vilnius, the man’s residence. The assailant smashed the oppositionist’s car window, sprayed tear gas in his eyes, and then began hitting him with a hammer. According to earlier reports from Lithuanian authorities, the attack on the oppositionist was likely orchestrated by the Kremlin’s special services through a recruited individual.

Volkov, based in Vilnius, has continually ‘provoked’ Russian authorities by organizing anti-Kremlin protests and advocating for Navalny’s release from prison while he was alive.
