Russia deeply regrets the Western decision to go to war with the Gaddafi regime in Libya.
A diplomatic spokesman said in Moscow Saturday that this hasty action on the Libya resolution of the UN Security Council must be pursued in a way that does not harm foreign diplomats or Libyan civilians who find themselves in the war zone.
He also reiterated the need for a solution that is achieved through peaceful dialogue between the Libyan sides.
This is what Wikipedia says
Libya–Russia relations (
Russian: Российско-ливийские отношения) is the
bilateral relationship between the two countries,
Libya and
Russia. Russia has an
embassy in
Tripoli, and Libya has an embassy in
Moscow.
Diplomatic contact between Russia and Libya has always been close and productive; seeing as both countries have had and continue to see volatile relations with the
United States.
Leader Muammar al-Gaddafi was a close ally of the Soviet Union, despite his country's membership in the
NAM; also
Russia regards Libya as its' strongest ally in the Arab world, both politically and historically.
So we can conclude Russia won't come to invade Libya as rest of European countries.
