The peace talks for Libya have not come to fruition in Moscow. Khalifa Hafter, the strong man of Libya have already left the Russian capital without signing the cease-fire agreement. His departure, before dawn, and almost unnoticed, is in some measure a rebuff to the Russian president, Vladimir Putin. Even the Russian president, that has shown its influence ever more powerful in the political chessboard of the middle East, has been antagonized by the man to whom Russia has supported in recent months with the presence of mercenaries. However, Russia is reluctant to give for closed the negotiation, that should put an end to nine months of intense fighting in Libya.

But his initiative to achieve put an end to the battle for Tripoli has not advanced. And could now grow even worse. While Hafter account with mercenaries russians, who managed to tip the war in their favor, to conquer the bastion of Sirte, Turkey has sent forces to support Serraj.
