Stay away from #Russia and Russian politics!”

  2. Russia-Ukraine war live:

    #Leonid #Volkov told Reuters
    💥hours before an assailant attacked him with a hammer and tear gas 💥outside his home in Lithuania that he and other exiles feared for their lives.

    Volkov, the top aide to #Alexei #Navalny, said leaders of the late Russian opposition leader’s organisation knew they were facing “high individual risks” in an interview filmed on Tuesday hours before an unidentified attacker assaulted him outside his home.

    “They know that #Putin not only kills people inside Russia, he also kills people outside of Russia”, he said. “We live in very dark times”.

    Lithuania has accused Moscow of being behind the attack. Volkov blamed Russian president Vladimir Putin. There was no immediate comment from Moscow on the incident.
    In his interview with Reuters hours before the attack, Volkov said the death of Navalny last month in an arctic prison had 🔸inspired Navalny’s supporters to ensure that his sacrifice was not in vain.🔸
    “Alexei’s death was a devastating loss, and it’s a bleeding wound (in) our hearts, but also of course it produced a lot of energy, a lot of political momentum,” he said. “It’s our task and responsibility to convert this energy into meaningful political action that would make Putin weaker.”

    #Volkov posted a video on his Telegram channel stating that he has returned home after receiving treatment at the hospital.

    He says his attacker broke one of his arms but failed to break his legs, despite striking them with a hammer “roughly 15 times.”

    Volkov said he would comment in more detail later but described the attack as “an obvious, characteristic, typical, gangster-style greeting from #Putin
