Libyan National Army Head Arrives in Moscow for Talks With Lavrov

Earlier in the day, Dengov told Sputnik that Marshal Khalifa Haftar,'s flight to Moscow had been delayed, Sputnik reported.

Libya has been suffering from a civil war since 2011 when long-time leader Muammar Gaddafi was overthrown. The country’s Eastern regions are governed by the elected parliament headquartered in the city of Tobruk. Besides, the Government of National Accord, formed with the support from the United Nations and Europe and headed by Fayez Sarraj, operates in the country’s West, including the Libyan capital of Tripoli.

The Eastern authorities act independently from the West, cooperating with the National Army led by Haftar, which fights against terrorists.

Moscow has been providing support for the regulation of the crisis in Libya and has repeatedly said it was ready to cooperate with all the interested Libyan parties.
