A Russian exile artist known under the pseudonym Semjon Skrepezki was shot dead in the eastern Polish town of Biala Podlaska. According to Prime Minister Donald Tusk, a suspect with a Georgian passport has been arrested and may have been involved in the killing. Tusk suggested the murder could be politically motivated, possibly involving Russia, calling it state terrorism if Russia were responsible. Two men from Belarus were briefly detained but released due to lack of evidence linking them to the crime.
