Russian Ambassador after Meeting Franjieh: We Will Maintain Our Approach towards Lebanon

Russian Ambassador to Lebanon Alexander Zasypkin announced Monday that Russia will maintain its “supportive approach” towards Lebanon.

He said after holding talks with Marada Movement leader MP Suleiman Franjieh: “We always want Lebanon to be a free, sovereign, and independent country, which is why we support all efforts that help Lebanon head on the democratic path.”

“It’s too early to make conclusions on all that has happened because the developments are moving too fast, but the region is entering a new phase,” the ambassador added.

“We are monitoring the developments in Lebanon and the region and it’s important that the ongoing actions don’t result in human losses,” he concluded.
