TITLE I—ASSISTANCE 
PROVISIONS 
SEC. 101. SUPPORT FOR DEMOCRATIC GOVERNANCE AND 
CIVIL SOCIETY IN UKRAINE. 
(a) IN GENERAL.—The President is authorized and 
encouraged to provide assistance to support democracy 
and civil society, including community-based and faith- 
based organizations, in Ukraine by undertaking the activi-
ties described in subsection (b). 
(b) ACTIVITIES
DESCRIBED.—The activities de-
scribed in this subsection are—
(1) improving democratic governance, trans-
parency, accountability, rule of law, and anti-corrup-
tion efforts; 
(2) supporting Ukrainian efforts to foster 
greater unity among people and regions of the coun-
try, combat anti-Semitism and discrimination, and 
promote respect for religious freedom; 
(3) supporting the people and Government of 
Ukraine in preparing to conduct and participate in 
free and fair elections, including through domestic 
and international election monitoring; 
(4) assisting Ukraine in diversifying its econ-
omy, trade, and energy supplies, including at the na-
tional, regional, and local levels; 
(5) strengthening democratic institutions and 
political and civil society organizations; and 
(6) expanding free and unfettered access to 
independent media of all kinds in Ukraine and as-
sisting with the protection of journalists and civil so-
ciety activists who have been targeted for free speech 
activities. 
(c) AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS.—There is 
authorized 
to 
be 
appropriated 
to 
the 
President 
$50,000,000 for fiscal year 2014 to carry out this section.
SEC. 102. ECONOMIC REFORM IN UKRAINE. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
(1) The Ukrainian economy is weak and vulner-
able, as evidenced by short-term debt interest rates 
as high as 15 percent, a high proportion of foreign 
exchange-denominated government debt that will 
mature in 2014 and 2015, a banking sector with 
non-performing loans at the high level of 14 percent, 
a financing gap which the Government of Ukraine 
has estimated will amount to $35 billion over the 
next two years, and a large underground economy. 
This economic condition undermines democratic 
prospects in Ukraine. 
(2) Years of poor economic management and 
performance have undermined and may continue to 
undermine political stability and unity within 
Ukraine. 
(3) On March 6, 2014, the House of Represent-
atives passed H.R. 4152, to redirect previously ap-
propriated funds to cover the cost of roughly $1 bil-
lion in loan guarantees for Ukraine. 
(b) STATEMENT OF POLICY.—It shall be the policy 
of the United States to work with other countries and 
international institutions to stabilize the Ukrainian econ-
omy, while promoting critically needed structural economic 
reforms in Ukraine, including—
(1) cutting the massive natural gas subsidies 
that have led to market inefficiencies; 
(2) reducing the bloated public sector; 
(3) maintaining a market-determined exchange 
rate; 
(4) strengthening the vulnerable banking sector; 
(5) promoting a robust, independent, and im-
partial judiciary, due process, and uniform applica-
tion of law; and 
(6) reducing corruption, such as by supporting 
reform efforts of the Government of Ukraine to pass 
legislation related to greater accountability for gov-
ernment officials, greater protection of private prop-
erty, and increased transparency of government 
funds. 
(c) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress that loan guarantees provided by the United States 
for Ukraine should be used to promote government, bank-
ing and energy sector reform, and anti-corruption efforts 
in Ukraine. 
SEC. 103. UNITED STATES INTERNATIONAL PROGRAMMING 
TO UKRAINE AND NEIGHBORING REGIONS. 
(a) FINDINGS AND DECLARATIONS.—Congress finds 
and declares the following:
(1) The Russian Government has deliberately 
blocked the Ukrainian people’s access to uncensored 
sources of information and has provided alternative 
news and information that is both inaccurate and in-
flammatory. 
(2) United States international programming 
exists to advance the United States interests and 
values by presenting accurate and comprehensive 
news and information, which is the foundation for 
democratic governance. 
(3) The opinions and views of the Ukrainian 
people, especially those people located in the eastern 
regions and Crimea, are not being accurately rep-
resented in Russian dominated mass media. 
(4) Russian forces have seized more than five 
television stations in Crimea and taken over trans-
missions, switching to a 24/7 Russian propaganda 
format; this increase in programming augments the 
already 
robust 
pro-Russian 
programming 
to 
Ukraine. 
(5) United States international programming 
has the potential to combat this anti-democratic 
propaganda.
(b) PROGRAMMING.—Radio Free Europe/Radio Lib-
erty (RFE/RL), Incorporated, and the Voice of America 
service to Ukraine and neighboring regions shall— 
(1) provide news and information that is acces-
sible, credible, and accurate; 
(2) emphasize investigative and analytical jour-
nalism to highlight inconsistencies and misinforma-
tion provided by Russian or pro-Russian media out-
lets; 
(3) prioritize programming to areas where ac-
cess to uncensored sources of information is limited 
or non-existent, especially populations serviced by 
Russian supported media outlets; 
(4) increase the number of reporters and orga-
nizational presence in eastern Ukraine, especially in 
Crimea; 
(5) promote democratic processes, respect for 
human rights, freedom of the press, and territorial 
sovereignty; and 
(6) take necessary preparatory steps to con-
tinue and increase programming and content that 
promotes democracy and government transparency 
in Russia.
(c) PROGRAMMING SURGE.—RFE/RL, Incorporated, 
and Voice of America programming to Ukraine and neigh-
boring regions shall— 
(1) prioritize programming to eastern Ukraine, 
including Crimea, and Moldova, and to ethnic and 
linguistic Russian populations, as well as to Tatar 
minorities; 
(2) prioritize news and information that directly 
contributes to the target audiences’ understanding of 
political and economic developments in Ukraine and 
Moldova, including countering misinformation that 
may originate from other news outlets, especially 
Russian supported news outlets; 
(3) provide programming content 24 hours a 
day, seven days a week to target populations, using 
all available and effective distribution outlets, includ-
ing— 
(A) at least 8 weekly hours of total original 
television and video content in Ukrainian, Rus-
sian, and Tatar languages, not inclusive of live 
video streaming coverage of breaking news, to 
be distributed on satellite, digital, and through 
regional television affiliates by the Voice of 
America; and
(B) at least 14 weekly hours the total 
audio content in Ukrainian, Russian, and Tatar 
languages to be distributed on satellite, digital, 
and through regional radio affiliates of RFE/ 
RL, Incorporated; 
(4) expand the use, audience, and audience en-
gagement of mobile news and multimedia platforms 
by RFE/RL, Incorporated, and the Voice of Amer-
ica, including through Internet-based social net-
working platforms; and 
(5) partner with private sector broadcasters and 
affiliates to seek and start co-production for new, 
original content, when possible, to increase distribu-
tion. 
(d) AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS.—There is 
authorized to be appropriated for fiscal year 2014, in addi-
tion to funds otherwise made available for such purposes, 
up to $10,000,000 to carry out programming in the 
Ukrainian, Balkan, Russian, and Tatar language services 
of RFE/RL, Incorporated, and the Voice of America, for 
the purpose of bolstering existing United States program-
ming to the people of Ukraine and neighboring regions, 
and increasing programming capacity and jamming cir-
cumvention technology to overcome any disruptions to 
service.
(e) REPORT.—Not later than 15 days after the date 
of the enactment of this Act, the Broadcasting Board of 
Governors shall submit to the Committees on Foreign Af-
fairs and Appropriations of the House of Representatives 
and the Committees on Foreign Relations and Appropria-
tions of the Senate a detailed report on plans to increase 
broadcasts pursuant to subsections (a) and (b).

tering political unity and stability throughout

the co-equal branches of government. 
(b) AUTHORIZATION OF APPROPRIATIONS.—There is 
authorized to be appropriated $8,000,000 for fiscal year

SEC. 106. ENHANCED SECURITY COOPERATION AMONG 
CENTRAL AND EASTERN EUROPEAN NATO 
MEMBER STATES. 
(a) IN GENERAL.—The Secretary of State, in con-
sultation with the heads of other appropriate United 
States departments and agencies, shall seek to provide en-
hanced security cooperation with Central and Eastern Eu-
ropean North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) mem-
ber states by undertaking the activities described in sub-
section (b). 
(b) ACTIVITIES

(1) in fiscal year 2013 the United States pro-
vided Ukraine with nearly $2,000,000 in assistance 
under chapter 5 of part II of the Foreign Assistance 
Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 2347 et seq.; relating to 
International Military Education Training) and 
nearly $7,000,000 in assistance under section 23 of 
the Arms Export Control Act (22 U.S.C. 2763; re-
lating to the Foreign Military Financing Program); 
and
(2) Ukraine has been a longstanding member of 
NATO’s Partnership for Peace. 
(b) SENSE OF CONGRESS.—It is the sense of Con-
gress that— 
(1) United States assistance to Ukraine under 
chapter 5 of part II of the Foreign Assistance Act 
of 1961 and section 23 of the Arms Export Control 
Act should be increased; 
(2) consistent with section 506(a) of the For-
eign Assistance Act of 1961 (22 U.S.C. 2318(a)), 
the President is encouraged to draw down defense 
articles from the stocks of the Department of De-
fense, in order to provide security assistance, which 
could include communication equipment, clothing, 
fuel and other forms of appropriate assistance, to 
the Government of Ukraine; and 
(3) the Government of Ukraine should make 
greater efforts to secure the protection of classified 
information and military equipment. 
(c) STATEMENT OF POLICY.—It shall be the policy 
of the United States, in consultation with the Government

SEC. 108. RECOVERY OF ASSETS LINKED TO CORRUPTION

gress that the Administration should provide expedited as-
sistance to the Government of Ukraine through appro-
priate United States Government and multilateral pro-
grams, including the Department of Justice’s Kleptocracy

Asset Recovery Initiative, the Camden Asset Recovery 
Inter-Agency Network, and the Asset Recovery Focal 
Point Initiative, to identify, investigate, secure, and re-
cover assets missing from the Government of Ukraine or

Viktor Yanukovych, members of his family, other former
or current senior foreign political figures of the Govern-
ment of Ukraine, and their accomplices in any jurisdiction.

DEVELOPMENT. 
(a) FINDINGS.—The Congress finds the following: 
(1) Article 1 of the Agreement Establishing the 
European Bank for Reconstruction and Development 
(EBRD) states that the EBRD should support in-
vestments in countries that are committed to and 
applying the principles of multiparty democracy, plu-
ralism, and market economics, and the EBRD has 
recognized that Russian ‘‘progress in the application 
of these principles . . . has been uneven’’. 
(2) Russia received 21 percent of the invest-
ments made by the EBRD in 2013, which is more 
than any other country received from the EBRD in 
that year, and has received an inordinate ratio of in-
vestment from the EBRD since the 2006 Capital 
Resources Review. 
(b) SENSE OF THE CONGRESS.—It is the sense of 
the Congress that the European Bank for Reconstruction 
and Development (EBRD) should increase investments in
Ukraine and cease new investments in the Russian Fed-
eration, and the United States Government should press 
the EBRD to support new investment in Ukraine and halt 
consideration of new investment in Russia.

cial institution for acting for or on behalf of or ma-
terially assisting, sponsoring, or providing financial, 
material, or technological support for, or goods or 
services to or in support of, a senior official of the 
Government of the Russian Federation. 
(2) Widespread corruption at senior levels of 
the Government of the Russian Federation, in com-
bination with the suppression of political freedoms 
and the concentration of enormous wealth in the 
hands of individuals exercising extensive influence 
over government policy, has contributed to the estab-
lishment of an authoritarian system that does not 
respect the rights of the Russian people. 
(b) AUTHORITY FOR IMPOSITION OF SANCTIONS.— 
(1) ASSET BLOCKING.—The President, acting 
through the Secretary of the Treasury and in con-
sultation with the Secretary of State (or their des-
ignees), is authorized to impose sanctions described

with the provisions of such section against a foreign 
person if the foreign person is a senior foreign polit-
ical figure or a close associate of such senior foreign

consultation with the Secretary of State (or their 
designees), determines meets one or more of the cri-
teria described in subsection (c). 
(2) ALIENS INELIGIBLE FOR VISAS, ADMISSION, 
OR PAROLE.—The Secretary of State or the Sec-
retary of Homeland Security (or a designee of one 
of such Secretaries) is authorized to impose sanc-
tions described in paragraph (1)(B) of section 
202(c) in accordance with the provisions of such sec-
tion against an alien if the alien is a senior foreign 
political figure or a close associate of such senior

retary of State or the Secretary of Homeland Secu-
rity (or a designee of one of such Secretaries)

criteria described in this subsection are the following: 
(1) The foreign person or alien is responsible 
for, or complicit in, or responsible for ordering, con-
trolling, or otherwise directing, acts of significant 
corruption in the Russian Federation, including the 
expropriation of private or public assets for personal 
gain, corruption related to government contracts or
the extraction of natural resources, bribery, or the 
facilitation or transfer of the proceeds of corruption 
to foreign jurisdictions.

or technological support for, or goods or services in 
support of, an act described in paragraph (1).

section.

eign person’’ and ‘‘alien’’ have the meanings given such

SEC. 204. REPORT ON CERTAIN FOREIGN FINANCIAL INSTI-
TUTIONS. 
(a) FINDINGS.—Congress finds the following: 
(1) On February 26, 2014, the Department of 
the Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Net-
work advised United States financial institutions of 
their responsibility to take reasonable, risk-based 
steps regarding the potential suspicious movement of 
assets related to Viktor Yanukovych departing Kyiv
and abdicating his responsibilities and other senior 
officials resigning from their positions or departing 
Kyiv. 
(2) United States financial institutions are re-
quired to apply enhanced scrutiny to private banking 
accounts held by or on behalf of senior foreign polit-
ical figures and to monitor transactions that could 
potentially represent misappropriated or diverted 
state assets, the proceeds of bribery or other illegal 
payments, or other public corruption proceeds. 
(3) On March 3, 2014, the Government of 
Ukraine announced that it had initiated criminal 
proceedings against a number of former Ukrainian 
officials or close associates of former Ukrainian offi-
cials. 
(4) On March 5, 2014, the European Union, 
based on information from Ukraine’s Prosecutor 
General, issued a Council Regulation requiring the 
European Union to freeze the funds and economic 
resources of various former Ukrainian officials and 
their close associates. 
(5) The Government of Canada has taken simi-
lar action against the same individuals. 
(6) The measures being taken against these 
former Ukrainian officials and their close associates
increase the risk that they will seek to move their 
assets in a deceptive fashion. 
(7) Foreign financial institutions should apply 
similar, enhanced due-diligence and reporting re-
quirements. 
(8) The United States has a strong interest in 
seeing the international financial system protected 
from illicit financial activity, including money laun-
dering, 
terrorism 
and 
proliferation 
financing, 
transnational organized crime, and the misappro-
priation of state assets, and international sanctions 
evasion, among others. 
(9) The Department of the Treasury possesses 
a range of authorities to insulate the United States 
financial system from entities or jurisdictions that 
pose an illicit financing risk. 
(b) STATEMENT OF POLICY.—It shall be the policy 
of the United States to use all of its regulatory and statu-
tory authorities to closely scrutinize all foreign financial 
institutions, including those in the Russian Federation, 
that may be complicit in enabling foreign persons and 
transnational criminal enterprises to evade or otherwise 
circumvent United States and international sanctions, 
launder the proceeds of criminal activity, finance acts of 
terrorism and the proliferation of weapons of mass de-
struction, or any other illicit activity that presents risks 
and vulnerabilities to the United States financial system. 
(c) REPORT.— 
(1) IN GENERAL.—Not later than 30 days after 
the date of the enactment of this Act, and every 180 
days thereafter for a period not to exceed 2 years,

gressional committees a report on—

state-owned or controlled assets in a manner

Secretary of the Treasury to be contrary to the 
interests of the Government of Ukraine; 
(B) foreign financial institutions deter-
mined by the Secretary of State and the Sec-
retary of the Treasury to be complicit in illicit 
financial activity, including money laundering, 
terrorism

transnational organized crime, or misappropria-
tion of state assets, that are— 
(i) organized under the laws of the 
Russian Federation; or
(ii) owned or controlled by a foreign 
person described in section 202(b); and 
(C) foreign financial institutions that are 
directly or indirectly assisting or otherwise aid-
ing the violation of Ukrainian sovereignty, inde-
pendence, and territorial integrity, including the 
Crimea.
