“The Moscow meetings were fruitful,” Lieutenant-General Tamimi said, noting that the Russian side had confirmed its “support for the stabilization of Libya and the need to evacuate foreign forces and mercenaries and dismantle armed groups, in accordance with the Geneva Ceasefire Convention and the Military Commission of 5 + 5 conclusions.”
