Ukraine's foreign minister has harsh words for Poland after Ukrainian shot dead

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Anatoly Zlenko threatened "tough measures" against Poland on Wednesday after Polish police on Sunday shot dead 26-year-old Ukrainian Serhij Kudrya who had been driving his pregnant wife home from the Czech Republic to Ukraine via the Lublin region of Poland. Police said the man was inadvertently shot during a scuffle, but Ukrainian officials have denounced the police use of force. "This was an impudent act, we are ready to take decisive measures," Zlenko told a news conference. A spokesman for Lublin police said prosecutors had launched an investigation.
