Summary
A shocking assassination in eastern Poland has rocked the nation: Russian activist Semyon Skrepetsky, known for his biting caricatures of Putin and Kadyrov, was shot multiple times near his home. Polish authorities arrested a 36-year-old Georgian suspect with alleged organized crime ties, who held a Georgian passport and was found in a Warsaw hostel. Officials suspect Russia may have orchestrated the killing as sabotage to destabilize Ukraine’s allies — a potential act of state-sponsored terrorism. Prime Minister Donald Tusk called it the first such politically motivated assassination by a foreign state within Poland, echoing past Russian-linked plots targeting Ukrainian dissidents and even a foiled attempt on Zelenskyy’s life.
