Notice of March 3, 2015

Continuation of the National Emergency With

Respect to Ukraine

On March 6, 2014, by Executive Order 13660, I 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.

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, I 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, I 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, I issued Executive Order 13685,

to take additional steps to address the Russian

occupation of the Crimea region of Ukraine.

tions in

Ukraine; threaten its peace, security, stability,

sovereignty, and territorial integrity; and contribute

to the misappropriation of its assets.

On December 19, 2014, I issued Executive Order 13685,

to take additional steps to address the Russian

occupation of the Crimea region of Ukraine.

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 on March 6, 2014, and the measures

adopted on that date, on March 16, 2014, on March 20,

2014, and December 19, 2014, to deal with that

emergency, must continue in effect beyond March 6,

2015. 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.
