Notice of February 18, 2026

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 et seq.) 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.

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.

egions 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, 2026.

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.

(Presidential Sig.)
