February 17, 2022 —Russia was one of the first countries to express its support for Libya's new prime minister as divisions were reignited between the war-torn country’s rival governments. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova commented Feb. 14 on the situation around the new Libyan government. On the one hand, relations between Russia and the Dbeibeh government were also quite fruitful. If Moscow and Bashagha are truly ready to work together, this would be considered a great success for Russia on the Libyan track. It’s notable that Moscow has voiced its support for Bashagha without including any negative comments about Dbeibeh.
