Gov. Asa Hutchinson calls for review of Arkansas's business contracts with Russia
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Governor Asa Hutchinson furthered his condemnation of Russia invading Ukraine and has called for a full review of Arkansas's state departments regarding any business contracts with the country Monday night.
In a press release, Hutchinson said he sent a letter to 15 cabinet secretaries to look at "any contracts or agreements between Arkansas, the Russian Federation, or other Russian entities exist."
Although Arkansas’s economic ties with Russia are limited, I want to make sure that we as a state are not indirectly supporting Russian aggression through its economy," Hutchinson said. "I am transparent and unequivocal in my condemnation of these actions.”
Hutchinson praised Ukraine and its people, saying they are "willing to do whatever is necessary to defend their country, their families, and their liberties from Russian aggression."
