In the crisis in Libya, Italy has a rival, the France, and an ally, the United States. But there is another actor, fundamental and until now on the sidelines, which can be decisive in resolving the conflict: the Russia.
Another base for the Mediterranean
Although the world's attention on Russian operations is naturally focused on Syria, Libya represents a fundamental point in the Kremlin's Mediterranean agenda. For Moscow, il Mediterranean represents the natural outlet towards the Atlantic. Controlling or in any case guaranteeing the presence in the Mediterranean therefore translates into the ability to emerge from the shell of the Black Sea and obtain positions in the intermediate sea between Russian ports and the ocean.
The Mediterranean is needed. And therefore Libya is needed, given that the conflict that has been shaking the North African country for years mainly concerns the coasts, where there are ports, arsenal, possible military bases e, inevitably, the terminals of gas and oil fields.
