22 U.S.C. § 8907 — Sanctions on persons responsible for violence or undermining the peace, security, stability, sovereignty, or territorial integrity of Ukraine

(a) The President must impose the sanctions described in subsection (b) on: (1) anyone — including a current or former Government of Ukraine official, or someone acting on that government's behalf — the President finds responsible for ordering, controlling, directing, or carrying out serious acts of violence or gross human rights abuses against people connected to the antigovernment protests in Ukraine that began November 21, 2013; (2) anyone the President finds responsible for ordering, controlling, directing, or carrying out serious acts meant to undermine Ukraine's peace, security, stability, sovereignty, or territorial integrity, including economic extortion; (3) any Government of the Russian Federation official, or a close associate or family member of one, the President finds responsible for, complicit in, or responsible for directing significant corruption in Ukraine — including seizing private or public assets for personal gain, corruption tied to government contracts or resource extraction, bribery, or moving corrupt proceeds to other countries; and (4) anyone the President finds materially assisted, sponsored, or provided financial, material, or technological support, or goods or services, for the acts described in paragraph (1), (2), or (3). (b) Sanctions described. (1) The sanctions are: (A) Asset blocking — using all powers the International Emergency Economic Powers Act gives the President, to block and prohibit all transactions in the property of a person the President determines is subject to subsection (a), if that property is in the United States, enters the United States, or is controlled by a U.S. person; and (B) Exclusion from the United States — for a noncitizen the President determines is subject to subsection (a), denying them a visa and excluding them from the United States, and revoking, under section 1201(i) of title 8, any visa or other documentation they hold. (2) Anyone who violates, attempts to violate, conspires to violate, or causes a violation of the asset-blocking rule, or a related regulation, license, or order, faces the same penalties as under section 206(b) and (c) of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. (3)(A) The asset-blocking requirement does not include the power to sanction the importation of goods. (B) "Good" here has the meaning given that term in section 4618 of title 50, as continued under the International Emergency Economic Powers Act. (4) The exclusion-from-the-United-States sanction does not apply to a noncitizen if admitting them is necessary for the United States to comply with the United Nations Headquarters Agreement, or with other applicable international obligations. (c) Waiver. The President may waive these sanctions for a person if the President determines the waiver serves U.S. national security interests, and, on or before the waiver takes effect, sends the Senate Foreign Relations and Banking Committees and the House Foreign Affairs and Financial Services Committees a notice explaining the waiver. (d) Termination. Subject to section 9511 of this title, the President may end these sanctions for a person if the President tells the appropriate congressional committees that: (1) the person is no longer doing the sanctioned activity, or has taken real, verifiable steps to stop; and (2) the President has received reliable assurances the person will not knowingly engage in that activity again. (e) Regulatory authority. The President must issue whatever regulations, licenses, and orders are needed to carry out this section.
