Kuzovkov was shot five times near his home in Biała Podlaska, Poland on June 15, 2026. Elnur A., a Georgian citizen, was previously charged with committing the murder itself. Kuzovkov, a satirical artist, had fled Russia in 2021 due to fear of political prosecution. The victim had received death threats from supporters of Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov, who is a Putin ally. Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk stated that everything points to this being a political assassination. The suspect, Makhmud A., was captured on Monday, October 18, 2026.",
