'We can see those who stood with us and those who didn't'

Lebanon's condemnation of the Russian invasion of Ukraine "will not affect considerably" Moscow's relations with Beirut, the Russian ambassador said on Sunday.

"In the difficult times, we can see those who stood with us and those who didn't," Alexander Rudakov told a news conference in Beirut.

Lebanon condemned Russia's invasion of Ukraine on Thursday and called on Moscow to halt its military operations at once, withdraw its troops and return to dialogue and negotiations as a means to resolve the conflict, a statement by the Foreign Ministry said.
