ICC seeks arrest of 3 suspects linked to Russia-Georgia war
THE HAGUE, Netherlands (AP) — International Criminal Court judges have issued arrest warrants for three men wanted on suspicion of committing war crimes during the 2008 Russo-Georgian War, the court announced Thursday. The Hague-based court opened an investigation in 2016 into the conflict, which killed hundreds and left thousands of civilians displaced. Russia invaded Georgia after violence broke out between separatist groups and Georgian forces. In 2021, the European Court of Human Rights concluded that “grave human rights abuses” occurred on Russian-held territory. The three wanted men — Lt.-Gen. Mikhail Mindzaev, Gamlet Guchmazov and David Sanakoev — served in the government of the Russian-backed self-declared republic of South Ossetia.

Spirit’s delay allows airline bidding war time to play out
This is a carousel. Use Next and Previous buttons to navigate 3 NEW YORK (AP) — Shares of Spirit Airlines rose Thursday after it postponed a vote for the second time on a proposed merger with Frontier Airlines, allowing for a bidding war over the budget airline between Frontier and JetBlue Airways to play out. The delay, announced hours before the scheduled vote, indicated that Spirit lacked support to approve the Frontier merger. JetBlue CEO Robin Hayes said Spirit shareholders gave their board a mandate to negotiate a sale to his airline. But JetBlue investors seemed underwhelmed by the prospect of the New York carrier buying Spirit. They sent shares of JetBlue down 6% Thursday. Spirit rose 4%, and Frontier barely changed. Florida's Spirit said the vote on a proposed tie-up with Frontier would be postponed until July 8. Leaders of all three airlines have been making their pitch to major Spirit shareholders for support in a vote that … [Read more...] about Spirit’s delay allows airline bidding war time to play out
