Attorney General Merrick Garland became the latest high-level US official to travel to Ukraine on Friday when he made an unannounced visit to the western city of Lviv.
According to Justice Department officials, Garland was invited by Ukraine’s top prosecutor to make the trip. During the visit, he met with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and pledged US support to investigate alleged Russian war crimes.
Garland’s trip to Ukraine came a few days after Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen visited the country and a few weeks after President Biden did.
“We are here today in Ukraine to speak clearly, and with one voice: the perpetrators of those crimes will not get away with them,” Garland while in Lviv, according to Axios. He made a similar pledge when he visited Ukraine in June 2022, a few months after the Russian invasion.

Yellen and Garfinkle to Ukraine. Why? Neither has a job requirement for the Ukraine. Maybe they are looking for a second Israel.
