Why does Russia need to secure more oil when it already has a massive oversupply itself? Russia produces more oil than it would ever hope to consume in a hundred years.

New Cold War to control resources to deprive the others from access of it.

Libya was never Russian ally. Libya used to be close with Italy.

" Leader Muammar al-Gaddafi was a close ally of the Soviet Union, despite his country's membership in the Non-Aligned Movement; also Russia regarded Libya as one of its strongest allies in the Arab world. After the Libyan Civil War Russia has supported stabilizing the country, and since the outbreak of the new conflict it has primarily backed the Tobruk-based House of Representatives over the UN-backed Government of National Accord and various other factions."
