The fatal shooting of a Russian artist in Poland was apparently politically motivated, according to Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk.

"Everything indicates that this is a political murder," Tusk said, adding:

"If it was ordered by Russia, then it is also a very serious matter with an international dimension."

Semyon Skrepetsky, whose real name was Robert Kuzovov, had often satirized Vladimir Putin. He was shot dead in a parking lot in the small town of Biala Podlaska in eastern Poland on Monday - first with three shots and then two more at close range after he fell to the ground.
