OREANDA-NEWS   Sanctions against Russia lead to the fact that people are dying, the Russian Federation is doing everything to supply oil and gas to other countries so that people do not freeze, said Chairman of the State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin.

The death toll in the United States due to the snowstorm that hit the country has increased to at least 51, NBC reports.

"In these difficult conditions, we are doing everything to ensure that both oil and gas are supplied to other countries. So that people don't freeze there. But sanctions lead to people dying and freezing," Volodin said in a video posted on his channel on the Max platform.

According to him, it is necessary to "think with your head" before making such decisions, and engage in business, rather than counteract the development of other countries. "To the relocators who left for these countries: those who did not stock up on warm clothes, do you see what they might face? You don't have to come from there," the chairman of the State Duma added.
