So far they have shied away from putting boots on the ground in Libya, which has been torn apart by a civil war that also involves mercenaries paid by Turkey and Russia.the leader of the internationally recognized Libyan administration, Fayez al-Sarraj, while Moscow supports General Khalifa Haftar.
“In the past six months Turkey and Russia have gained massive influence in Libya, and they are using it," Borrell said."Vladimir Putin and Recep Tayyip Erdoğan have at least succeeded in preparing a temporary cease-fire between the hostile parties in Libya. This is potentially good news for the people of Libya."
However, he noted,"it is not necessarily a confirmation of great EU influence. Now, at the Libya conference in Berlin on Sunday, it is important to take decisive steps forward in this process.”
