Western
forces breaching UN resolution on Libya: Russian envoy

Moscow: Western forces should cease violating the UN Security Council
resolution on Libya and maintain the embargo on arms supplies to the
conflict zone, said Dmitry Rogozin, the Russian permanent envoy to
NATO Monday.
"More and more European states are declaring support for the Libyan
rebels. We request to stop violating the UN Security Council
resolution, especially its clause imposing an embargo on arms
supplies to the conflict zone," Rogozin said.
"No one has ever succeeded in extinguishing a fire with kerosene."
"Getting more and more entangled in the Libyan crisis, certain
Western states have started speculating about the possibility of a
ground operation, which would probably be introduced as an operation
to secure humanitarian convoys," he said.
The statement has come in the wake of recent rumours that France was
pushing European Union countries to the ground campaign in Libya by
sending an EU humanitarian-military mission to the troubled North
African state.
However, French Foreign Minister Alain Juppe has ruled out any
military role for the EU humanitarian mission.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov earlier warned that weapons
supplies and ground operations in Libya, regardless of reasons or
causes, would be a breach of the Security Council's resolution.
The UN Security Council adopted a resolution imposing a no-fly zone
over Libya March 17, paving the way for a military operation against
embattled Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi which began two days later.
The command of the operation was shifted from a US-led international
coalition to NATO in late March.
