The Russian Embassy in Libya issued an official statement denying the validity of circulating information about the presence of any Russian military aircraft or Russian military pilots on Libyan territory. The embassy stressed in its statement, published on its official Facebook page, that these “allegations are false and have no basis in truth.”
The Russian embassy affirmed in its statement that “there is no Russian aviation on Libyan soil, nor are there any Russian military pilots either.” The statement also warned certain “unfriendly parties to Libya” who are trying to mislead Libyan public opinion by publishing false information.
The embassy concluded its statement by calling for an end to “misleading the Libyan people by promoting topics that have no basis in reality.”
