President Joe Biden's ban on import of Russian oil into the United States in response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine is driving up prices.
Biden announced the embargo Tuesday, and called the move a "powerful blow" to Russia and was something Ukranian President Volodymyr Zelenski pushed for.
Even Gov. Kathy Hochul said this is going to send a message to Russia and President Vladimir Putin.
According to AAA, the national average for a gallon of regular gas went up 10 cents from Monday now to $4.17.
In the city, the price is now soaring above the national average at around $4.40 a gallon.
