The Newark City Council voted unanimously to ask the city's business administrator to suspend the service stations' operating licenses, citing Lukoil's base in Moscow.
NEWARK, New Jersey -- Outraged by the invasion of Ukraine, lawmakers in New Jersey's largest city lashed out at one of the closest symbols of Russia they could find - a pair of Lukoil gas stations.
"Let me be clear that I stand with Ukraine and I'm fully in support of Russian sanctions," Verma said Wednesday in front of Newark's City Hall."But I'm baffled and confused how people sitting in these positions without having any of their facts together and without having full knowledge of how things are done can introduce and change laws and change people's lives just like that.
Newark officials said going after the Lukoil stations was the moral thing to do, even if they are locally owned. It wasn't immediately clear Thursday when the Newark stations' licenses would be revoked, or if the city administrator might halt the suspension. Ramos, who introduced the resolution, said he anticipated it would still happen.
