Grigory YAvlinsky's statement on the military operation against Iraq

Moscow. Such developments could have been avoided. However, we failed in this task. Unfortunately, it is highly likely that the military operation will lead to a considerable number of victims on both sides. Owing to this development in the conflict, Russia must seek to achieve several objectives.

First of all: to reduce the number of victims, by trying to ensure a termination of the war as soon as possible. Secondly the conflict will end and the situation will revert to a legal framework. This happened several times after the Second World War and the formation of the UN. Our country should preserve its strategic partnership with Europe and the USA.

The third objective. Russia can play a leading role in the development of proposals aimed at preventing such a situation in future.
