&#9658Yushchenko Vows Ukraine Withdraws From Iraq

Politics: 10 January 2005, Monday.

The winner of Ukraine's presidential vote Viktor Yushchenko pledged to withdraw the nation's troops from Iraq and that it will be a priority for him once he takes office.

The announcement came after an accidental blast killed seven Ukrainian soldiers, along with one Kazakh soldier, in Iraq's central Wasit region. The troops died after a bomb they were about to defuse went off accidentally. Another seven Ukrainian and four Kazakh troops were injured as a result of the accident.

Bulgarian President Georgi Parvanov sent Monday a letter of condolences to his outgoing analogue of Ukraine Leonid Kuchma expressing his deepest empathy to the families of the seven killed soldiers.

Some 1,600 Ukrainian troops have been deployed since August 2003 in Iraq's Wasit region where US-led coalition forces are under Polish commandment.
