Speaking at a formal briefing in the Mediterranean island of Maddalena after relaxed talks in Sardinia on Friday,
"Putin indicated he would send troops in under US command. Have France or Germany indicated this level of support?"

Are you sure?

From the source Jochen sent.
"Putin did not say whether Moscow would be willing to send its own troops to Iraq as part of a U.N.-sponsored force.

Earlier on Saturday, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Yuri Fedotov told Interfax news agency it would be premature to speak of a role for Russia in a future U.N. military contingent."
