ICC prosecutor suspended; Ukraine repatriates prisoners; Chornobyl and Zaporizhzhia updates

The International Criminal Court's Chief Prosecutor, Karim Khan, has been suspended following harassment allegations, a decision his legal team has labeled unlawful. This action was taken by the Bureau of the Assembly of States Parties to the Rome Statute, based on a UN internal oversight report. Meanwhile, Ukraine recently repatriated 186 citizens from Russian captivity, with a human rights expert stressing the urgent need to prioritize civilian prisoner exchanges, estimating approximately 20,000 civilians remain held. Separately, allegations persist regarding Rosatom employees' involvement in the occupation of the Chornobyl nuclear power plant, following a reported Russian drone attack on a nuclear waste storage facility in the Chornobyl zone on June 7, 2026. In the Zaporizhzhia region, Russian forces conducted 884 attacks on 46 settlements, resulting in two fatalities and 38 injuries. Sources: Радіо Свобода, Українська правда
