Ukraine's parliament demands troops withdrawal from Iraq

http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2004-12/03/content_2292013.htm

KIEV, Dec. 3 (Xinhuanet) -- Ukraine's parliament approved a proposal Friday demanding troops withdrawal from Iraq, the Interfax news agency reported.

A total of 257 members in the 450-seat chamber approved the proposal urging pullout of the 1,600 troops from Iraq, which was the fourth largest contingent in the US-led coalition.

Both of the contestants for the presidency, pro-Russian Prime Minister Viktor Yanukovich and West-leaning opposition leader Viktor Yushchenko, favor a troops pullout.

Ukraine has been locked in a political crisis since the Nov. 21presidential runoff, in which Prime Minister Yanukovich won. But the opposition rejected the result.
