North Carolina Bans Russian Vodka
According to WCNC, NC Governor Cooper said yesterday that he intends to “terminate any agreements or operations that directly benefit Russian companies.” This is a response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. The state-owned ABC stores are being ordered to look over their products and remove all Russian products
At last night’s Charlotte City Council meeting, Charlotte Mayor Vi Lyles condemned the Russian invasion. Charlotte has had ties to the Russian sister city for decades, but the cities have not interacted in years. At the city council’s next business meeting, it will vote to officially cut off the city’s relationship with its Russian sister city.
The invasion of Ukraine is an attack on a free people. This Executive Order sends a strong message and helps ensure no public dollars or operations from North Carolina will benefit Russia and its unjustified aggression.https://t.co/iW5nMLRZ5Q pic.twitter.com/BgIt9yrc7N
