Russian President Dmitry Medvedev during a press conference at the G8 summit in Deauville, France, on Friday.
Russia has abandoned one-time ally Muammar Qadhafi and offered to mediate a deal for the Libyan leader to leave the country he has ruled for more than 40 years.
Friday’s striking proposal by a leading critic of the NATO bombing campaign reflects growing international frustration with the Libyan crisis and a desire by the Kremlin for influence in the rapidly changing Arab landscape.
With Mr. Qadhafi increasingly isolated and NATO jets intensifying their attacks, Russia may also be eyeing Libya’s oil and gas and preparing for the prospect that the lucrative Libyan market will fall into full rebel control.
“He should leave,” Russian President Dmitry Medvedev said of Mr. Qadhafi. “I proposed our mediation services to my partners. Everyone thinks that would be useful.”
The proposal thrust Mr. Medvedev into the spotlight at a summit in France of Group of Eight nations. Talk of this year’s Arab world uprisings has dominated the summit.
Analysts question whether Russia still has any leverage over Mr. Qadhafi, and the leaders of France, Britain and Germany said there’s no point in negotiating directly with the Libyan leader himself.
“If Qadhafi makes this decision, which will be beneficial for the country and the people of Libya, then it will be possible to discuss the form of his departure, what country may accept him and on what terms, and what he may keep and what he must lose,” Mr. Medvedev told reporters.
Hope, Gadaffi would listen to the voice of his people and that of the World Community.
