The
United States is "very concerned" about the intensification of the conflict in Libya, with a rising number of reported
Russian mercenaries supporting Khalifa Haftar's forces on the ground turning the conflict into a bloodier one, a senior State Department official said on Saturday.
The United States continues to recognize the Government of National Accord (GNA) led by Fayez al-Serraj, the official said, but added that
Washington is not taking sides in the conflict and is talking to all stakeholders who could be influential in trying to forge an agreement.
"We are very concerned about the military intensification," the official told Reuters.
