TL;DR Summary

Independent investigators from the United Nations are visiting Ukraine to investigate alleged human rights violations during Russia's invasion. Meanwhile, Russia's Investigative Committee is focusing on determining the cause of the plane crash that killed Yevgeniy Prigozhin, leader of the Wagner Group. The U.N. commission previously concluded that Russia violated human rights in Ukraine, while the investigation into the crash remains opaque. In other developments, Russia canceled a military exercise due to a lack of troops and equipment, a factory was struck by a Russian missile killing three people, and Ukrainian forces have taken control of a village in the Zaporizhzhia region. Russian Defense Ministry claimed to have foiled attacks by Ukraine, and Polish authorities are investigating a hacking attack on trains. Russian President Putin is expected to meet with Turkish President Erdogan, and a vessel has left Ukraine through a temporary Black Sea corridor. The lingering popularity of Prigozhin poses a challenge for Putin, as some Russians have created public memorials for him.
