DEPARTMENT OF STATE

[Public Notice: 12169]


Determination Under Section 506(a)(1) and Section 614(a)(1) of 
the Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 To Provide Military Assistance to 
Ukraine

    Pursuant to the authority vested in me by section 506(a)(1) of the 
Foreign Assistance Act of 1961 (the ``Act'') (22 U.S.C. 2318(a)(1)) and 
Presidential Delegation of Authority dated July 7, 2023, I hereby 
determine that:
    <bullet> An unforeseen emergency exists which requires immediate 
military assistance to Ukraine; and
    <bullet> The emergency requirement cannot be met under the 
authority of the Arms Export Control Act or any other provision of law.
    In addition, pursuant to the authority vested in me by section 
614(a)(1) of the Act (22 U.S.C. 2364(a)(1)), and Presidential 
Delegation of Authority dated July 7, 2023, I hereby determine that it 
is important to the security interests of the United States to furnish 
up to $122 million in assistance under the Act to Ukraine without 
regard to any other provision of the law within the purview of section 
614(a)(1) of the Act.
    I, therefore, pursuant to authority delegated to me by the 
President, direct the drawdown of up to $800 million in defense 
articles and services of the Department of Defense and military 
education and training under the authority of section 506(a)(1) of the 
Act to provide assistance to Ukraine. The Department of State will 
coordinate implementation of this drawdown.
    This determination shall be reported to the Congress and published 
in the Federal Register.

    Dated: July 7, 2023.
Antony Blinken,
Secretary of State.
