Russia may send peacekeeping troops to Iraq to help restore order, according to CNN.com.

The statement by Russian Defense Minister Sergei Ivanov to a Russian news agency, was cautious, claiming that Russia's involvement would be only on the condition of a unanimous resolution passed by the United Nations Security Council. Ivanov said that the Russians are worried that terrorists are converging upon the destabilized Iraq, posing a threat to other countries.

U.S. Secretary of State Donald Rumsfeld said the U.S. will not be sending more troops to Iraq and that the key to stability in Iraq is building up the Iraqi forces.

Berlin wants a “request (for troops) from a legitimate Iraqi interim administration and a clear UN mandate” before it even discusses the issue, government spokesman Bela Anda said.
