North Carolina -- April 29, 2022: North Carolina Governor Roy Cooper stated yesterday in a press release that the North Carolina National Guard will assist Ukraine in its continued fight against Russian aggression.

"As part of a wider US support package to Ukraine, the NC Army National Guard is providing M-113 Armored Personnel Carriers at the request of the Department of Defense."
In February, Governor Cooper signed Executive Order No. 251, which urged state government agencies and departments to assess all existing contracts and activities and to cancel any agreements or operations that directly benefit Russian firms in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

The Administrative Order applied to all state government agencies and departments over which the Governor has executive power, as well as state entities whose chief executive or a majority of board members are appointed by the Governor. The North Carolina ABC Commission was in charge of alcohol sales, while the Department of Administration was in charge of purchasing and contracting.

Governor Cooper shared a list of state government support resources for military service members and their families as military personnel based in North Carolina are deployed due to Russia’s unjustified attack on Ukraine.
