How do you boycott Russian gas?

Lukoil...is the second largest oil company in Russia...Due to current events, the company is not real popular anymore among members of Jersey City’s Ukrainian community. NJ.com reported that locals began protesting the Russian invasion of Crimea on Saturday at a Lukoil outside the Holland Tunnel in Jersey City. “The money they make is for Putin's war," said Jersey City resident Alexander Seminiv. "We will be here for as long as Russia is in the Ukraine." New Jersey’s protesters were not the only people encouraging a boycott of Lukoil stations. Protests are taking place in New York, mainly at a Watervilet station...Local Ukrainians have gone to Philadelphia and Brooklyn to protest Lukoil, according to NJ.com.
