The Biden administration has reportedly submitted a long-awaited classified report to Congress outlining its strategy regarding the Russia-Ukraine war.
According to Reuters, which cited three anonymous sources, the document was part of a $60 billion aid package for Ukraine, which was approved after months of debate and finalized in April. The report was initially due in June.
A congressional aide mentioned that the report was received on Monday, though Congress has yet to review it. Two other sources also confirmed its receipt.
The delayed submission has caused frustration among some Republicans, with concerns that further funding for Ukraine might be blocked. Senator Jim Risch, chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, emphasized the need for a clear strategy, stating that while he supports Ukraine, it should not be “blind” support.
Risch commented earlier, “From the early days of Putin’s war against Ukraine, we’ve asked the Biden-Harris administration for a strategy on how the U.S. and its allies can help Ukraine win. When they didn’t respond, we wrote into the law that this strategy must be provided to Congress. The deadline passed, and no answer came.”
There were previous reports indicating that Vice President Kamala Harris’s potential presidential campaign may be delaying a $50 billion credit line for Ukraine.
Meanwhile, U.S. Speaker of the House Mike Johnson expressed confidence that Donald Trump would end the war in Ukraine if elected president.
