MOSCOW. February 19, 2003. Deputies from the YABLOKO faction of the State Duma are convinced there are other ways and to resolve the Iraqi crisis without war. The press service of the YABLOKO faction told us that, "taking the initiative Russia should propose to the world community to station in the country a considerable international contingent of military forces prepared to engage in military action at any moment." According to YABLOKO, this would make the work of the UN inspectors really efficient and would in time lead to a change of regime.
The members of the YABLOKO faction gave their proposal to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Russia Igor Ivanov during his visit to the State Duma.
