                               RESOLUTION


 
   Condemning recent actions taken by the Russian military to down a 
                     United States Air Force drone.

Whereas United States European Command released footage confirming that 2 
        Russian Su-27 fighter jets acted unprofessionally and in a reckless 
        manner;
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) recognizes that Russian attempts to recover the drone 
        are a threat to the national security of the United States.
