Gas stations running out of gas full#
“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.” “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. He said the decision to yank his license left him baffled and concerned that he could be put out of business, which would affect his 16 employees.
Roger Verma, a New Jersey resident who immigrated from India 45 years ago, has owned the franchise for one of the Lukoil stations in Newark since 2005. The campaign targeting the gas stations is one example of collateral damage from the backlash against Russia, as government officials and customers race to show their support for Ukraine by boycotting products and companies - or things they perceive to be Russian.
And the gasoline sold at the stations comes from a local Phillips 66 refinery. The stations are franchises owned by locals, not Russians. In doing so, however, they may have predominantly been hurting Americans. The Newark City Council voted unanimously Wednesday to ask the city’s business administrator to suspend the service stations' operating licenses, citing Lukoil's base in Moscow. – 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.
