H. Res. 240

                In the House of Representatives, U. S.,

                                                        April 17, 2023.
Whereas United States European Command released footage confirming that 2 
        Russian Su-27 fighter jets acted unprofessionally and in a reckless 
        manner when intercepting and downing a U.S. MQ-9 Reaper drone on March 
        14, 2023;
Whereas a United States Air Force drone was acting safely and responsibly in 
        international airspace and in accordance with international law; and
Whereas the 2 fighter jets released fuel and bumped into the drone, resulting in 
        the drone crash-landing in the Black Sea: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the House of Representatives--
            (1) condemns the reckless actions of the Russian military; and
            (2) reaffirms the United States will not be deterred from operating 
        U.S. drones in international airspace in the Black Sea region due to 
        Russia's reckless behavior.
            Attest:

                                                                          Clerk.
