United Russia deputy faction head Andrey Isaev urged Russians not to react to the fuel crisis "like offended teenagers"
According to him, the fuel shortage is linked to Ukraine’s strikes on oil refineries, not to domestic miscalculations.
Isaev compared dissatisfaction with the situation to the behavior of teenagers demanding to go to a disco immediately after a utilities accident. He also expressed hope that voters would not become "objects of manipulation" and would continue to support the party.
In addition, United Russia representatives criticized the Communist Party’s proposal to nationalize oil-producing enterprises: «80% already belongs to the state. What, nationalize Lukoil?»
No Fuel, Plenty of Scolding
Isaev told Russians not to sulk over fuel shortages and blamed strikes on refineries.
When fuel runs short, the lecture starts.
