CONTINUATION OF THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY WITH RESPECT TO UKRAINE
On March 6, 2014, by Executive Order 13660, the President
declared a national emergency pursuant to the International
Emergency Economic Powers Act (50 U.S.C. 1701-1706) to deal with
the unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security
and foreign policy of the United States constituted by the
actions and policies of persons that undermine democratic
processes and institutions in Ukraine; threaten its peace,
security, stability, sovereignty, and territorial integrity; and
contribute to the misappropriation of its assets.
On March 16, 2014, the President issued Executive Order
13661, which expanded the scope of the national emergency
declared in Executive Order 13660, and found that the actions
and policies of the Government of the Russian Federation with
respect to Ukraine undermine democratic processes and
institutions in Ukraine; threaten its peace, security,
stability, sovereignty, and territorial integrity; and
contribute to the misappropriation of its assets.
On March 20, 2014, the President issued Executive Order
13662, which further expanded the scope of the national
emergency declared in Executive Order 13660, as expanded in
scope in Executive Order 13661, and found that the actions and
policies of the Government of the Russian Federation, including
its purported annexation of Crimea and its use of force in
Ukraine, continue to undermine democratic processes and
institutions in Ukraine; threaten its peace, security,
stability, sovereignty, and territorial integrity; and
contribute to the misappropriation of its assets.
On December 19, 2014, the President issued Executive Order
13685, to take additional steps to address the Russian
occupation of the Crimea region of Ukraine.
On September 20, 2018, the President issued Executive Order
13849, to take additional steps to implement certain statutory
sanctions with respect to the Russian Federation.
On February 21, 2022, the President issued Executive Order
14065, which further expanded the scope of the national
emergency declared in Executive Order 13660, as expanded in
scope in Executive Orders 13661 and 13662, and relied on for
additional steps taken in Executive Orders 13685 and 13849, and
found that the Russian Federation's purported recognition of the
so-called Donetsk People's Republic or Luhansk People's Republic
regions of Ukraine contradicts Russia's commitments under the
Minsk agreements and further threatens the peace, stability,
sovereignty, and territorial integrity of Ukraine, and thereby
constitutes an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national
security and foreign policy of the United States.
The actions and policies addressed in these Executive
Orders continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to
the national security and foreign policy of the United States.
For this reason, the national emergency declared in Executive
Order 13660, which was expanded in scope in Executive Order
13661, Executive Order 13662, and Executive Order 14065, and
under which additional steps were taken in Executive Order 13685
and Executive Order 13849, must continue in effect beyond March
6, 2025.
Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the
National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)), I am continuing
for 1 year the national emergency declared in Executive Order
13660.
This notice shall be published in the Federal Register and
transmitted to the Congress.
THE WHITE HOUSE,
February 27, 2025.
