On July 24, the Assembly of States Parties to the Rome Statute removed Khan from office following a nearly two-year investigation into allegations of harassment. Moscow expressed hope that this would facilitate Khan's extradition to Russia to face justice for attempting to prosecute "knowingly innocent individuals and for an attempt on persons enjoying international protection." The ministry also added that other states had begun to leave the "sinking ship," with Venezuela announcing its withdrawal from the ICC following the Sahel Confederation states - Burkina Faso, Mali, and Niger - which had already done so.
