                DEPARTMENT OF STATE
                [Public Notice: 12176]
                Determination Under Section 506(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 March 3, 2023, I hereby
                determine that:
                 an unforeseen emergency exists which requires immediate
                military assistance to Ukraine; and
                 the emergency requirement cannot be met under the
                authority of the Arms Export Control Act or any other provision of law.
                 I, therefore, pursuant to authority delegated to me by the
                President, direct the drawdown of up to $400 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: March 3, 2023.
                Antony Blinken,
                Secretary of State.
