Russia is calling upon all sides of the conflict in Libya to show maximum restraint so that the people of Libya could execute their legitimate right to elect and be elected, Russian Deputy Envoy to the UN Gennady Kuzmin said. "The country that once used to prosper still lies in ruins, and needs to be restored bit by bit," he said. The diplomat noted that a decade passed before Libya "could spot some positive moments in its complicated process of political settlement." On November 22, Libya’s election commission stopped receiving registration bids from candidates in the upcoming presidential election. After that, with Ankara's active support, he managed to regain control of a number of provinces the LNA had taken.
