Russian Warships Dock at Libyan Port Tobruk
Two ships belonging to Russia's Pacific Fleet—the Varyag missile cruiser (Slava class) and the Marshal Shaposhnikov frigate—have docked at the Libyan port of Tobruk and are expected to stay for three days. The docking comes as Khalifa Haftar's Libyan National Army (LNA), which exerts de facto control of the central-southern regions of Libya, seeks to establish stronger ties with the European nation.
