Thank you, Mr Putin, for your rapid response to my query. The Russian draft of 26 June 2001 is now at: http://www.cam.ac.uk/societies/casi/info/russiadraftscr010626.html It's quite, quite different from the UK and French proposals - Russia is effectively proposing a simple, straight swap: an immediate ending of all non-military sanctions and constraints in return for readmitting arms inspectors. It's been considerably cut down from the 22 May Russian proposal. Britain calls this "dangerous"; I think we can effectively argue that anything except this is dangerous, both in terms of Iraqi WMD development and for Iraqi wellbeing.
