The committee has also focused on the Department’s efforts to deter
aggression by the Russian Federation against Ukraine and other allies and partners in Europe. The committee supports a significant increase in European Deterrence Initiative funding above the fiscal year 2017 request, including funding for heel-to-toe rotations of U.S. forces, pre-positioning of equipment in Europe, and building up necessary Air Force infrastructure. The bill would also provide $150.0 million for the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative to enhance the
defense of Ukraine and to deter further Russian aggression.Стр.7
The committee recommends an overall discretionary authorization of $688.3 billion in fiscal year 2018. The base committee authorization of $613.8 billion is a $70.4 billion increase above the levels provided for in the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114–328). The authorization provided in title XV totals $74.6 billion for Overseas Contingency Operations, of which $10.0 billion is authorized in support of base budget requirements.

Report on the National Security Implications of Ukraine’s Arbitration Proceedings against Russia under Annex VII of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea The Committee notes the September 14, 2016 announcement by Ukraine that it had initiated arbitration proceedings against Russia under Annex VII of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). In bringing this suit, Ukraine is seeking validation of its maritime rights in the vicinity of Crimea in the Black Sea, the Sea of Azov, and the Kerch Strait. The Ukrainian Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that ‘‘Ukraine has asked the arbitral tribunal to enforce its maritime rights by ordering the Russian Federation to cease its internationally wrongful actions in the relevant waters, to provide Ukraine with appropriate guarantees that it will respect Ukraine’s rights under UNCLOS, and to make full reparation to Ukraine for the injuries the Russian Federation has caused.’’
Therefore, the committee directs the Secretary of Defense, in consultation with the Secretary of State, to submit a report to the congressional defense committees by December 31, 2017 on:
(1) the national security implications of the arbitration proceedings brought by Ukraine against Russia under UNCLOS;
(2) actions the U.S. can take to support the arbitration proceedings brought by Ukraine;
(3) limitations to the U.S. position in this case given its failure to ratify UNCLOS, and;

The committee directs the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Secretary of State and the Director of National Intelligence, to provide a briefing to the House Committee on Armed Services not later than October 1, 2017 on the
role of the Russian military in influence operations and campaigns conducted by the Russian Federation targeting democratic elections and disruption of military alliances and partnerships of which the United States is a member. At a minimum, the briefing should include;
(a) An assessment of the Russian Federation’s objectives in influence campaigns targeting democratic elections and disruption of military alliances and partnerships of which the United States is a member and how they relate to the Russian Federation’s broader strategic objectives;
(b) The role of the Russian military in influence operations supporting such campaigns;
(c) Identification of the Russian military’s tactics, techniques, and procedures used in influence operations supporting such campaigns;
(d) Identification of foreign countries with democratic elections systems that may be targeted in future influence operations and campaigns by the Russian Federation, an assessment of the likelihood each such foreign country will be targeted, and an analysis of the potential strategic advantage gained by the Russian Federation by targeting those foreign countries;
(e) Identification of the Russian military’s tactics, techniques, and procedures used in influence operations that are likely to be applied in future influence campaigns targeting democratic elections and disruption of military alliances and partnerships of which the United States is a member;
(f) An assessment of the Russian Federation’s perception and understanding of the security objectives of military alliances and partnerships of which the United States is a member and how that perception or understanding shapes the Russian Federation’s intelligence collection and influence operations and campaigns; and
(g) Identification of any gaps in intelligence and warnings and recommendations to address such gaps.
Section 1234—Modification and Extension of Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative
This section would extend by 1 year section 1250 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2016 (Public Law 114– 92), as amended by section 1237 of the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2017 (Public Law 114–328), to authorize the Secretary of Defense to provide security assistance and intelligence support to the Government of Ukraine.
Elsewhere in this Act, the committee includes a provision that would authorize $150.0 million to carry out this authority in fiscal year 2018.
As reflected in the past three National Defense Authorization Acts, Congress has authorized and encouraged the Department of Defense to
provide defensive lethal assistance to the Government of Ukraine. The committee urges the Department to provide defensive lethal assistance to the Government of Ukraine to support its efforts to protect and defend its territorial integrity.

UNITED STATES AND THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION.
(a) LIMITATION
None of the funds authorized to be appropriated for fiscal year 2017 for the Department of Defense may be used for any bilateral military-to-military cooperation between the Governments of the United States and the Russian Federation until the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Secretary of State, certifies to the appropriate congressional committees that— (1)
the Russian Federation has ceased its occupation of Ukrainian territory and its aggressive activities that threaten the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine and members of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization; and (2) the Russian Federation is abiding by the terms of and taking steps in support of the Minsk Protocols regarding a ceasefire in eastern Ukraine.

The provision would authorize the use of up to $500.0 million in fiscal year 2017 to provide security assistance to Ukraine. The provision would prohibit the obligation or expenditure of half of the funds authorized to be appropriated in fiscal year 2017 under this authority until the Secretary of Defense, in coordination with the Secretary of State, certifies that Ukraine has taken substantial action to make defense institutional reforms and outlines areas where further work may remain.

The
conferees remain deeply concerned by the continuing aggression of Russia and Russian-backed separatists that violate ceasefire agreements and as such, continue to emphasize the fundamental importance of providing security assistance and intelligence support, including lethal military assistance, to the Government of Ukraine to build its capacity to defend its territory and sovereignty.
1261
Modification and extension of report on military assistance to Ukraine The House amendment contained a provision (sec. 1237) that would express the sense of Congress that the United States should continue to support the Government of Ukraine’s efforts to provide and maintain security in Ukraine including support to the Ukrainian military, the Ukrainian National Guard, and the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine. The Senate bill contained no similar provision. The House recedes. The conferees remain deeply concerned about the ongoing threats to the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, including the continued violations of ceasefire agreements by Russia and Russian-backed separatists. The conferees urge the Department of Defense to continue to provide robust support to the Government of Ukraine,
including through lethal assistance, to help defend against such aggression. Буду утилизировать галоши и шлёпанцы. Жду наш бюджет.
