CIA Releases Ukraine Docs on Biden's 2015 Visit
CIA Director John Ratcliffe declassified a 2016 report showing Biden's team blocked intelligence on Ukrainian officials’ concerns about Hunter Biden’s business ties and U.S. policy perceptions.
- On October 7, 2025, the CIA declassified a 2015 intelligence report detailing Ukrainian officials' reactions to then-Vice President Joe Biden's visit to Kyiv.
- The declassification comes after a prolonged period during which Biden’s office, in early 2016, acted to block the distribution of intelligence detailing Ukrainian officials’ concerns about his family's business connections.
- The report indicates that Ukrainian officials were frustrated Biden’s visit mainly involved a public speech rather than substantive talks with President Petro Poroshenko.
- A senior CIA official called the decision to block the report 'extremely rare and unusual,' and stated that Biden 'expressed a preference to not share the report.'
- The release highlights ongoing debate over political influence in intelligence practices and perceptions of double standards in U.S. anti-corruption policy toward Ukraine.
