New York State to stop doing business with Russia, Hochul says
Source: NY Daily News
New York will no longer do business with companies headquartered in Russia or run by Moscow, Gov. Hochul said Sunday. The move is a way for New York to wield its clout in a show of solidarity with Ukrainians as Russia’s invasion of their country entered its fourth day, she said.
“As the 10th largest economy in the world — larger than Russia — we realize the unique power that we have to join President Biden in economic sanctions, as well as to look at exactly our operations,” Hochul said at an Albany press conference. “We are no longer going to allow New York State business to be transacted with Russian entities” she said.
Hochul signed an executive order to review all state purchases and investments, “seizing” the ones in Putin’s hands, while noting that New York is home to the largest Ukrainian population in the U.S.
She also promised to work with state Comptroller Tom Di Napoli on divesting funds from Russian businesses.
