Baalbek – Russian Ambassador to Lebanon, Alexander Rudakov, visited Saturday the shrine of Sayyed Abbas Al-Moussawi in the town of Nabi Sheet, where he was received by Hezbollah’s Bekaa region official, Hussein al-Nimr, and a number of other dignitaries.

Ambassador Rudakov laid a floral wreath on the shrine, and toured around it, expressing his admiration for ‘the nations that glorify their martyrs.’

Touching on the tragic incidents in Gaza, he considered that ‘the Israeli aggression against Gaza and the land, sea, and air siege on it are consistent with President Putin’s description that it resembles the siege of Leningrad, which is an unacceptable aggression from an ethical and humanitarian standpoint.’
