Moscow is Opposed to Idea of Ground Operation in Libya — FM

sputniknews.com

During the interview Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told that Libya would not be in such a disastrous situation today if it were not for the NATO adventure, TASS reports.

Commenting the US President Barack Obam's statement regarding to the effect that the US operation in Libya was a mistake not because of the bombings, but that no ground operation followed after the bombings, he has stressed two main points. First of all, for US it was necessary to act like in Iraq that was first bombed and then occupied. And secondly, using the same action in Afghanistan, which they first bombed and then occupied the key position there.

 Talking about the "worst mistake" of his presidency in an interview with "Fox News Sunday," Obama said: "Probably failing to plan for, the day after, what I think was the right thing to do, in intervening in Libya."

 "Now they continue to talk about the need to bring ground troops into the country, thereby creating the impression that the old mistake is fixed," the Russian foreign minister said. "I would disagree with that."
