"Putin Blamed for Hammer Attack on Navalny Aide in Lithuania"

Lithuania blames Moscow for a hammer attack on exiled Navalny aide Leonid Volkov in Vilnius, with President Nauseda calling it a pre-planned provocation tied to other incidents against Lithuania. The attack, likely aimed at preventing Russian opposition influence, resulted in Volkov suffering a broken arm and multiple hammer blows. Volkov and others fear for their lives, with the Kremlin viewing Navalny's team as a significant opposition force. The U.S. Ambassador to Lithuania condemned the attack, while Russia's embassy in Vilnius declined to comment on the accusations.
