U.S. Continues National Emergency on Ukraine, Ends Zimbabwe Sanctions

President Biden extends the national emergency regarding Ukraine due to ongoing threats, while terminating the emergency situation in Zimbabwe.

The national emergency concerning Ukraine, first declared in 2014, is extended beyond March 6, 2024, to address threats to U.S. national security and foreign policy.
Executive Orders from 2014 to 2022 have expanded the scope of the Ukraine emergency, citing actions by Russia that undermine Ukraine's sovereignty.
The termination of the national emergency regarding Zimbabwe reflects a shift in U.S. policy, acknowledging improvements in the country's situation.
The U.S. will continue to use existing sanctions authorities to address corruption and human rights abuses in Zimbabwe.
The decisions on Ukraine and Zimbabwe were formalized through notices to Congress and publication in the Federal Register.
