Moscow, Jul 20 - Russia today categorically denied plans to send up to 40,000 troops to Iraq or Afghanistan under a reported deal with Washington.

Earlier the US Strategic Forecast - Stratfor analytical agency had reported about secret negotiations between Washington and Moscow on dispatching up to 40,000 Russian troops with Chechnya experience in exchange for economic concessions.

In his categorical statement Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Alexander Yakovenko rejected US reports as 'groundless' that Moscow and Washington are conducting talks on the dispatch of Russian military to Iraq in exchange for economic concessions.

Dubya doesn't like leaks. Watch for a big story on Russia's nuke facility security problems in the next 48-72 hours.
