Attorney General Dave Yost requested Ohio’s public employee pension systems to divest their holdings from Russian investments as part of the response to the country’s invasion of Ukraine.
People look at the gutted remains of Russian military vehicles on a road in the town of Bucha, close to the capital Kyiv, Ukraine, Tuesday, March 1, 2022. Russia on Tuesday stepped up shelling of Kharkiv, Ukraine's second-largest city, pounding civilian targets there. Casualties mounted and reports emerged that more than 70 Ukrainian soldiers were killed after Russian artillery recently hit a military base in Okhtyrka, a city between Kharkiv and Kyiv, the capital.
In a letter to directors of the five pension systems in Ohio, Yost said the state had a moral obligation to support the people of Ukraine. Russia launched a full-scale military invasion into the Eastern European country last week.
