Putin-critic Russian artist's shooting in Poland likely 'political murder': PM Tusk

The fatal shooting in eastern Poland of a Russian artist known for his caricatures of Russian President Vladimir Putin was likely politically motivated, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said Wednesday.

"All indications are that this is a political murder," said Tusk of the murder of Semyon Skrepetsky, whose real name is Robert Kuzovkov. "If it was commissioned by Russia, then this is also a very serious matter with an international dimension."
