Continuation of the National Emergency With Respect to Ukraine

On February 27, 2025, President Donald Trump extended the national emergency concerning Ukraine for another year, originally declared in 2014, due to ongoing threats to U.S. national security and foreign policy from Russian actions in Ukraine. This continuation allows the U.S. to maintain sanctions and other measures against Russia, impacting diplomatic and economic relations. The decision underscores the persistent geopolitical tensions involving Russia and Ukraine, with potential legal and political implications for U.S. foreign policy and international alliances.
