MOSCOW, April 28 (Reuters) - Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Tuesday that Moscow did not approve of Libya's eastern-based military leader Khalifa Haftar's move to seize control of the country, the Interfax news agency reported.

"I would not talk here about any leverage that Russia has," Lavrov said. "We have contact with all the actors in the Libyan conflict, without exception."

The Kremlin earlier on Tuesday said Russia remained committed to seeking a resolution to the conflict through politics and diplomacy. (Reporting by Polina Devitt; Writing by Alexander Marrow; Editing by Alex Richardson)
