ICC prosecutor suspended, Ukraine repatriates prisoners, and conflict continues in Chornobyl and Zaporizhzhia

International Criminal Court Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan has been suspended pending an investigation into harassment allegations, a decision his legal team deems unlawful. Separately, Ukraine recently repatriated 186 citizens from Russian captivity, with only one civilian among them, prompting a human rights expert to underscore the critical need to prioritize civilian prisoner exchanges, estimating approximately 20,000 civilians remain held. Meanwhile, 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
