Russia says Anglo-American resolutions 'out of touch'

A top Russian diplomat today reportedly said the UN resolution on Iraq proposed by Britain and the United States is “out of touch” and that there is no justification to bring it to a vote.

The comments by Deputy Foreign Minister Yuri Fedotov came as Foreign Minister Igor Ivanov held telephone discussions with Joschka Fischer and Dominique de Villepin, the foreign ministers of France and Germany.
