Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has hosted South Africa's president and the NATO chief at meetings aimed at pressuring the Western alliance to push for a peace settlement in Libya.
Medvedev met the South African leader Jacob Zuma at his Black Sea resort residence and was later to hold talks with NATO chief Anders Fogh Rasmussen and ambassadors from other alliance members.
The Russian leader immediately proposed that he and Zuma jointly appear before the NATO chiefs and explain their discomfort with the current course of the campaign.
The Russians and the African Union have "discomfort" and have floated peace proposals that involve Qaddafi and his sons remaining in Libya. The insurgents have roundly rejected any proposal that allows Qaddafi to remain.
We now have a war of attrition, though the rebels are armed and funded by NATO and American pilots are prowling for Qaddafi himself.
