International Criminal Court prosecutor suspended amid harassment probe; Ukraine repatriates prisoners; Zaporizhzhia suffers attacks

International Criminal Court Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan has been suspended from his position pending an investigation into harassment allegations. The decision, made by the Bureau of the Assembly of States Parties to the Rome Statute based on a UN internal oversight report, has been deemed unlawful by Khan's legal team. Meanwhile, Ukraine recently repatriated 186 citizens from Russian captivity, comprising 185 military personnel and one civilian. A human rights expert highlighted the critical need to prioritize civilian prisoner exchanges as a precondition for future negotiations. Separately, allegations continue 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.
