Russia in contact with all states that can make impact on Libya: deputy FM
Russia is in contact with all countries that can make an impact on the Libya settlement, including the United States, Sputnik news agency quoted Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Vershinin on Monday.
“We are in contact with all sides, and, above all, we are in contact under the auspices of the UN.
In UN, this issue is being discussed, it is on the agenda, so, naturally we are in contact with everyone who can play some role in this multilateral context,” Vershining said, when asked if Moscow was in contact with the US on Libya.
The situation on the ground is difficult, the diplomat said.
“What we do is we are focusing on maintaining a relationship with all parties in Libya, you know them, encourage them to reach mutually acceptable decisions,” Vershinin said.
