New York Gov. Kathy Hochul has signed an executive order forbidding her state from doing business with Russia, including cancelling its investments there.
New York Gov. Kathy Hochul signed an executive order Sunday forbidding her state from doing business with Russia, including cancelling its investments there.
The governor also said New York will welcome Ukrainian refugees in response to Russia's invasion, noting at a press conference in Albany that her state is home to the largest Ukrainian population in the U.S. "We have said we’ll open up our hearts, our homes, our resources to the people of the Ukraine, to say, ‘We stand with you,’" Hochul said. Federal estimates show that around 140,000 of the more than 1 million people in the U.S. who report Ukrainian ancestry live in New York.
"If you need a place to stay, you want to come over here, we will help you become integrated into our community," she said, "as we have been open so to so many other refugees in the past, including those from Afghanistan most recently."
