Notice of March 2, 2018

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.

ecurity 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.

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.

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 on December 19, 2014, to deal with that

emergency, must continue in effect beyond March 6,

2018. 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.
