John,

 

Governor Holcomb signed an executive order in response to Putin’s all-out attack on the people of Ukraine:

 

“I stand with the people of Ukraine as they face the tyranny of Putin and his unprovoked invasion. We must hold Putin accountable for his actions and support Ukraine in any way we can. Indiana joins the world as we pray for the people of Ukraine.”  – Governor Eric Holcomb

 

Governor Holcomb’s executive order takes the following actions, among others:

• The Indiana Department of Administration will review all state contracts that involve Russian-owned or Russian-affiliated companies.
• The Indiana Office of Technology will continue to strengthen our critical state infrastructure to protect the system from Russian cyber-attacks and the Governor encourages private businesses to do the same.
• The Commission for Higher Education will request that public colleges and universities report all Russian funding received for programs, research, and grants and report its findings to the governor’s office.
• The state of Indiana will standby to assist Ukrainian refugees should a federal policy, program, or initiative be implemented requiring access to appropriate locations across the country.

John, Governor Holcomb is proud to stand with the people of Ukraine during Putin’s illegal and unjust invasion, and he’s praying for peace in Europe.

 

Thanks,

Holcomb Crew
