Italian strategic expert Daniele Rovinetti stated to our source on Sunday that the printing of the Libyan dinar by a Russian company is part of external activities and is likely to lead to instability.
Rovinetti confirmed that, specifically, the activity covered by Moscow affects the Libyan government in eastern Libya, enabling an unrecognized executive system that serves as a political base for the interests of military leader Khalifa Haftar.
This, in turn, protects Russian interests, particularly safeguarded by Haftar, who views Libya as a strategic hub between the Mediterranean and Africa.
Rovinetti further noted that while we still need to understand the dynamics and involved actors, we can imagine that Russia benefits from maintaining chaos, which is why it is taking action.
He added that the illegal printing of the dinar serves to finance Moscow’s broader geopolitical strategic interests.
