Washington, D.C. - Today, House Foreign Affairs Committee Chairman Michael McCaul (R-TX), House Armed Services Committee Chairman Mike Rogers (R-AL), House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence Chairman Mike Turner (R-OH), House Appropriations Chairman Tom Cole (R-OK), House Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense Chairman Ken Calvert (R-CA), and House Appropriations Committee's Subcommittee on State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Chairman Mario Díaz-Balart (R-FL) released a statement demanding the Biden-Harris administration release an unclassified version of the Ukraine strategy as required by law.

"The Biden-Harris administration must immediately release an unclassified version of its strategy for how U.S. and allied assistance will hasten a Ukrainian victory in Russia's war of aggression. After submitting the strategy months after the congressionally-mandated deadline, the decision to fully classify it is unacceptable and defies critical provisions that House Republicans fought to enact as part of the National Security Supplemental and the FY24 spending bills. Given the vital U.S. interests at stake in Ukraine defeating Putin's invading forces, all of Congress and the American people deserve to understand how their hard-earned tax dollars are being spent."
