ICC prosecutor suspended; Ukraine repatriates 186; Rosatom and Zaporizhzhia updates
ICC Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan suspended amid harassment claims. Ukraine repatriates 186 citizens, with calls to prioritize civilian exchanges. Allegations of Rosatom involvement in Chornobyl occupation persist, alongside new attacks in Zaporizhzhia.
The International Criminal Court's Chief Prosecutor, Karim Khan, has been suspended pending an investigation into harassment allegations, a decision his legal team has deemed unlawful. Meanwhile, Ukraine recently repatriated 186 citizens from Russian captivity, including 185 military personnel and only one civilian. A human rights expert underscored the critical 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.
