“We are aware of the publication of the British Times,” RIA Novosti quoted her as saying.

McNulty did not directly respond to requests to confirm or deny this information.

She noted that the State Department can provide more data on Washington's policy towards Libya.

Earlier, The Times published an article claiming that Pantsir-C1, captured during the fighting in Libya, was secretly delivered to the American Ramstein airbase in Germany. According to the sources of the publication, the complex was bought from Russia by the UAE, and then transferred to the Libyan National Army (LNA).
