1. (C) Poloff delivered reftel demarche to MFA IO/UNSC
Section Chief Vladimir Safronkov June 14. Safronkov said
Russia fully supports continuing the MNF-I mandate and the
DFI/IAMB arrangements and that the GOR would not present any
obstacle to the extension. The Russian side would support a
positive UNSC press statement on UNSCR 1637, Safronkov said,
and might even propose that the UNSC President make a press
statement.


2. (C) Safronkov also requested that the U.S. side make a
statement in the course of UNSC discussions underlining the
necessity of releasing the Russian hostages in Iraq as soon
as possible.
