Russia has deployed military forces to Libya that are "de-stabilizing" the North African country, a top State Department official warned Tuesday. David Schenker, the State Department's assistant secretary for near eastern affairs, told reporters that Russia is deploying troops in "significant" numbers to support Libyan Gen. Khalifa Haftar, whose Libyan National Army launched an April offensive to seize Tripoli from the UN-backed Government of National Accord.
"Russian regulars are being deployed in significant numbers to support the LNA," Schenker said, describing their presence as "incredibly destabilizing." The presence of the Russian troops "raises the specter of large-scale casualties among the civilian population," Schenker said.
The US has become increasingly vocal about its opposition to Russia's presence in Libya, believing Moscow is seeking to establish a position there in part to challenge NATO's southern flank.
