To the Congress of the United States:
    Section 202(d) of the National Emergencies Act (50 U.S.C. 
1622(d)) provides for the automatic termination of a national 
emergency unless, within 90 days prior to the anniversary date 
of its declaration, the President publishes in the Federal 
Register and transmits to the Congress a notice stating that 
the emergency is to continue in effect beyond the anniversary 
date. In accordance with this provision, I have sent to the 
Federal Register for publication the enclosed notice stating 
that the national emergency declared in Executive Order 13660 
of March 6, 2014, which was expanded in scope in Executive 
Order 13661 of March 16, 2014, Executive Order 13662 of March 
20, 2014, and Executive Order 14065 of February 21, 2022, and 
under which additional steps were taken in Executive Order 
13685 of December 19, 2014 and Executive Order 13849 of 
September 20, 2018, is to continue in effect beyond March 6, 
2022.
    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, as well as the actions and policies of the Government 
of the Russian Federation, including its purported annexation 
of Crimea, its use of force in Ukraine, and its purported 
recognition of the so-called Donetsk People's Republic or 
Luhansk People's Republic regions of Ukraine, continue to pose 
an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security 
and foreign policy of the United States. Therefore, I have 
determined that it is necessary to continue the national 
emergency declared in Executive Order 13660 with respect to 
Ukraine.

                                               Joseph R. Biden, Jr.

                                 Notice

                              ----------                              


     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)), 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.
