A suspect has been arrested in Poland following the killing of an exiled Russian artist known for his criticism of Russian President Vladimir Putin. The suspect used a Georgian passport, according to Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk. The arrest was carried out by the police of the Lublin Voivodeship and the Polish domestic intelligence agency ABW. The artist, Robert Kusowkow, had moved to Poland in 2021 to escape political persecution in Russia. Tusk suggested the murder might have been ordered by Russia, calling it potential state terrorism.
