If you can make it here, you’ll not support Putin anywhere!

New York State will stop doing business with Russian entities, Governor Kathy Hochul announced Sunday, as she condemned the country’s invasion of Ukraine.

Hochul signed an executive order ceasing state purchases and investments from companies headquartered in Russia or backed by the Russian state for as long as Washington imposes sanctions on Russian President Vladimir Putin’s government.

“We strongly condemn the action of Putin and Russia for this unprovoked attack, which is now leading to atrocities against innocent human beings,” Hochul said during a press conference in Albany on Feb. 27.
