Leonid Volkov, the late Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny’s close associate and top strategist, accused Wednesday Russian President Vladimir Putin’s “henchmen” of being behind a brutal attack that left him hospitalized in Lithuania’s capital and vowed to “not give up.” Police said an assailant attacked Volkov on Tuesday as he arrived in a car at his Vilnius home, where he lives in exile.
He was Russia’s best-known opposition figure and Putin’s fiercest critic. Navalny had been jailed since January 2021 and was serving a 19-year prison term there on the charges of extremism widely seen as politically motivated. Opposition figures and Western leaders laid the blame on the Kremlin for his death — something officials in Moscow vehemently rejected.
