This law directs the President to boost security cooperation with Ukraine and nearby countries. Subject to available funds, the President must give security assistance, weapons, and training there, and support military and intelligence reform in the region. Congress authorized $100,000,000 for 2015 through 2017, and the President must give notice before those funds may be obligated.
(a) In general. Subject to available appropriations, the President must: (1) build up security cooperation efforts and relationships among Central and Eastern European countries, and between the United States, the European Union, and those countries; (2) provide additional security assistance — including defense articles and defense services, as section 2794 of this title defines them, and military training — to Central and Eastern European countries, including Ukraine; and (3) support greater reform, professionalism, and capacity-building in the military, intelligence, and security services of Central and Eastern Europe, including Ukraine.
(b) Authorization of appropriations. $100,000,000 total is authorized to the President for fiscal years 2015 through 2017 to carry out this section. That money must be used following this section's authorization and requirements, and additional amounts may be authorized under other laws.
(c) Strategy requirement. Within 60 days of April 3, 2014, the President had to send the appropriate congressional committees* a strategy for carrying out subsection (a).
(d) Notification requirement. (1) Funds appropriated or otherwise made available under subsection (b) may not be obligated until 15 days after the President gives the appropriate congressional committees and the Senate and House of Representatives Committees on Armed Services notice of the intent to obligate those funds. (2) The President may waive that 15-day notice requirement if failing to waive it would pose a substantial risk to human health or welfare. In that case, the President must give notice as early as practicable, but no later than three days after taking the action to which the notice requirement applied in the circumstances requiring the waiver.
The President shall, subject to the availability of appropriations—
enhance security cooperation efforts and relationships amongst countries in Central and Eastern Europe and among the United States, the European Union, and countries in Central and Eastern Europe;
provide additional security assistance, including defense articles and defense services (as those terms are defined in section 2794 of this title) and military training, to countries in Central and Eastern Europe, including Ukraine; and
support greater reform, professionalism, and capacity-building efforts within the military, intelligence, and security services in Central and Eastern Europe, including Ukraine.
There is authorized to be appropriated to the President a total of $100,000,000 for fiscal years 2015 through 2017 to carry out this section. Amounts appropriated for the activities set forth in subsection (a) shall be used pursuant to the authorization and requirements contained in this section. Additional amounts may be authorized to be appropriated under other provisions of law.
Not later than 60 days after April 3, 2014, the President shall submit to the appropriate congressional committees* a strategy to carry out the activities set forth in subsection (a).
Funds appropriated or otherwise made available pursuant to subsection (b) may not be obligated until 15 days after the date on which the President has provided notice of intent to obligate such funds to the appropriate congressional committees and the Committees on Armed Services of the Senate and the House of Representatives.
The President may waive the notification requirement under paragraph (1) if the President determines that failure to do so would pose a substantial risk to human health or welfare, in which case notification shall be provided as early as practicable, but in no event later than three days after taking the action to which such notification requirement was applicable in the context of the circumstances necessitating such waiver.
