MOSCOW - 13 December 2017: Russia is ready to consider easing an arms embargo for Libya, Interfax news agency cited Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov as saying.

Libyan Prime Minister Fayez al Sarraj said this month he was hopeful that a UN-imposed arms embargo would be partially lifted against some branches of the country's military, the Daily Mail reported on Wednesday.

The Libyan government is allowed to import weapons and related materiel with the approval of a UN Security Council committee overseeing the embargo imposed in 2011.
