Russia said it’s seeking to negotiate the exit from power of Libyan leader Muammar Qaddafi, for the first time supporting the goals of the NATO-led military campaign in Libya.

Qaddafi has forfeited his right to govern and Russia is using its contacts with the Libyan regime’s leadership to persuade him to step down, President Dmitry Medvedev said today in Deauville, France, after a Group of Eight summit.
