  • Russia Reform Monitor No. 2389 | American Foreign Policy Council
    Russia Reform Monitor No. 2389 June 1, 2020 Matt Maldonado, Ilan I. Berman Related Categories: Democracy and Governance; Human Rights and Humanitarian Issues; Global Health; Russia; North Africa HOW RUSSIA IS HELPING LIBYA'S HAFTAR U.S. military officials and national security experts have accused Russia of fanning the flames in Libya's civil war by supplying strongman Khalifa Haftar with both warplanes and manpower while masking the origin of that assistance. The North African conflict has widened in recent months after Turkey began supporting the UN-recognized Government of National Accord in their fight against Haftar, the leader of the Russia-backed Libyan National Army. Haftar controls large swaths of eastern Libya and is trying to dislodge the GNA from the capital city, Tripoli. In addition to releasing images of what are being called disguised Russian MiG-29 warplanes and other aircraft in southern Libya, U.S. sources also claim that Wagner, a Russian mercenary outfit that has gained notoriety for its activities in Ukraine and Syria, has deployed personnel to assist Haftar and his forces. Russia also appears to be providing Haftar and his men with advanced anti-aircraft systems. When Turkish-backed Libyan forces recently captured the al-Watiyah airbase in the country's west, they discovered a disabled unit of the Pantsir-S1 anti-aircraft missile system. The Pantsir-S1, known by NATO forces as the SA-22 Greyhound, has been a staple of military forces loyal to President Bashar Assad in Syria for the past several years. The system is capable of shooting down drones, and has been a nuisance for Turkish planes over Libya.

  • Kesarev Memo | New Russian Government | January 2020
    Kesarev phone: +32 (2) 899 4699 e-mail: [email protected] www.kesarev.com NEW RUSSIAN CABINET: STAFF “REVOLUTION” INSTEAD OF STRUCTURAL REFORMS? Summary On January 21, 2020, President Putin approved the structure of the new Russian Government and appointed Deputy Prime Ministers and federal Ministers. New Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin was appointed on January 16. What are the key specifics of the new Cabinet? The key specific feature of the new Russian Cabinet is that while the structural changes are minimal, the staff reshuffles proved to be radical, both in terms of the number of new people appointed to top offices and change of political status of key Cabinet members (how close they are to the President). This is an extremely atypical decision for Putin, compared to previous Cabinets over the entire period of his stay in power. Earlier, as a rule, the Cabinets included influential figures close to the President and personally associated with him, and a system of checks and balances between different elite groups existed.
