the state department didn't do that. and so that's sort of the core problem. they had another thing apparently, you know, the state department, they moved these positions every year, even though everything was brewing, they moved out a whole bunch of employees who had reached their year mark so that many people in critical can, can places had like been in the country for like a week or a day that makes their job nearly impossible. and as for why so many ask ends were left behind. even though you could see the writing on the wall. they were covered protocol, so they stopped process, basically processing visas. so that's why so many tens of thousands of atkins, who helped to us were left behind. all we likely to see any political fallout from this party. this is a sore point for president joe biden. in his re election campaign, we saw his ratings during what was only described as a disastrous leaving of afghanistan. don't forget, 13 service members died and dozens and dozens of afghans just trying to get out in that catholic atmosphere. interesting, i think to s

the state department has released a report on its investigation into the u.s.indings are damning. it's a 28-point report here. our kiley atwood has been going through it. a few things stand out to me and i'm sure stand out to you. one, insufficient level of consideration for worst case scenarios. it notes some officials questioned the decision making leading up to this. it notes handing over bagram air base basically funneled everybody trying to leave the country to the international airport, listing throughout a number of failures in the preparation. >> yeah, it's a really damning report, jim. and i think it's important to note to folks that it covers the time period of january of 2020 when president trump was in office and there was that agreement struck between the u.s. and the taliban which really paved the way for the united states to repair withdrawing from the country and covers through august 2021, which is when thg out the actual withdrawal itself. there is as you actually noted that one finding that is at the top of these findings that really crystall

i know speaking with the state department, with u.s. aid, with the department of defense, with our ambassador to ukraine, i stressed to them the importance of putting mechanisms early in place from day one to ensure we had accountability in place. i think we'll hear from you how that actually isn't working. it's always better to be in right at the beginning rather than later on when something wrong has happened. really appreciate you being here today and look forward to your testimony wan that i recognize the ranking member. >> thank you, mr. chairman and to our witnesses. as we all know russia's brutal war against ukraine grinds into its second year and congress and the american people will continue to stand with the brave ukrainians defending their rights and freedoms. ukrainians did not ask for this unjust aggression. they are only asking for our support as they defend their home and their sovereignty. it is in our national interest to provide that support to ukraine so it may win this war, which it will. our effort isn't just about u

but it cannot just be you and your colleagues in the department of state and justice. our entire government and the international community must always follow up with actions. ukraine's prosecutor general cross chronicled more than 88,000 alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity to date. 88,000, and that number continues to grow. thanks to the testimony of brave ukrainians who suffered unspeakable horrors and risked their lives so that we could know the truth, the world and this body are rallying to seek accountability. because not taking concrete actions to bring putin and those responsible for these atrocities to justice would set a dangerous precedent. last year on a bipartisan basis, congress day of the executive branch important new authorities to provide information and other support to the international criminal courts war crimes investigation and i commend them for issuing arrest warrants for putin and his so-called commissioner for children's rights. but here in the united states, while we may be saying the right words and calling out these crimes, the a
