Title 3— 

The President 

Notice of March 2, 2022 

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, 2022. Therefore, in accordance with section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 1622(d)),
