Newark, NJ vote to shut Lukoil stations backed by Congress members

TRENTON – Newark’s step toward suspending the business licenses of two Lukoil stations in the city in response to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine has the support of at least two members of the state’s congressional delegation, including Sen. Cory Booker.

Booker, D-N.J., and Rep. Tom Malinowski, D-N.J. 7th District, expressed support Thursday for the vote by the Newark City Council for a resolution calling for the city to suspend the licenses of the two stations on McCarter Highway, the New Jersey Globe reported.

“We have plenty of gas stations. There are franchise opportunities in this country that are not Lukoil,” Malinowski said.  “I think the bigger implications for all of us for our economy have to do with energy prices.”

PJSC Lukoil is the second-largest oil company in Russia, and the move to close the stations – which is ultimately a decision to be made by Mayor Ras Baraka’s administration – comes amid various economic sanctions being pursued in response to the attack on Ukraine.

Lukoil’s board of directors called for “the soonest termination of the armed conflict” Thursday in a statement that expressed support for “a lasting ceasefire and a settlement of problems through serious negotiations and diplomacy.”

Lukoil North America is headquartered in Moorestown, Burlington County. There are 120 Lukoil gas stations in New Jersey, more than half the company’s presence in the United States. But they’re owned by franchisees here, not by the Russian company or government.

A list of the Lukoil locations in New Jersey appears under the map below.
