International Criminal Court Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan has been suspended pending an investigation into harassment allegations, a decision his legal team deems unlawful. Meanwhile, Ukraine recently repatriated 186 citizens from Russian captivity, comprising 185 military personnel and one civilian.
