"Two members of the US-led coalition in Iraq have begun their phased withdrawals from the country.

About 150 Dutch troops arrived back in their country on Monday, while a similar number of Ukrainians were expected home on Tuesday."

"There are still about 800 Dutch soldiers in Iraq. They are expected to leave over the next month.

Two Dutch soldiers have died over the course of their involvement in Iraq.

Ukraine, which has lost 17 servicemen, is due to complete its withdrawal by 15 October.

The first of its 1,600 returning troops - who have been serving in the Polish command area south-east of Baghdad - were due to land in the city of Nikolayev on Tuesday."
