Victorious claims of Kremlin proved premature

Russians have tried to hide the latest defeat, having presented the case in such a manner that some insurgents have blown up a pair of land mines.

Russian occupants called the way from Johar up to Argun gorge, which passes through several settlements of Ichkeria, the road of death. Only for one last month Russian carried out about ten retaliatory actions in the villages Novie Atagi, Starie Atagi, Chiri-Jurt and Duba-Yurt right along a road connecting capital of CRI and Argun gorge. Last retaliatory action of aggressors was of the most scale. Practically within two weeks, these four settlements were blocked. Russian beat people, plundered, and grasped hostages. Until now, it is not known about the destiny of more than 60 peaceful inhabitants of these villages, who were taken to Khankala. Occupants refuse to give any information on hostages.

Despite of total «cleaning», blockade and campaign of terror against the peaceful population, for Russian were not possible to neutralize action of mobile subdivisions of Chechen forces, whose powerful attacks on occupants continue to strike. The latest evidence of full hopelessness of criminal-terroristic campaign of Kremlin in Ichkeria is events in Starie and Novie Atagi, in the settlement Chiri-Jurt and village of Duba-Yurt. At the daybreak on last Tuesday, mujahideen unexpectedly and powerfully attacked places of deployment of aggressors, occupational commandant's offices and have inflicted serious loss in human force and engineering. In some hours on road between settlements of Starie Atagi and Chiri-Jurt, Chechen fighters actually have crushed convoy of the Russian armies, which was moving towards Argun gorges. As a result of two special actions of Chechen armies, occupants have lost more than 60 person killed and 6 units of military engineering damaged.

Russian have tried to hide the latest defeat, having presented the case in such a manner that «some insurgents have blown up a pair of land mines, therefore one militiaman was killed». However, events in regional center of Vedeno were not possible to hide for Russian. Here early in the morning on dawn, practically simultaneously with the beginning of operation in Atagi direction, some mobile subdivisions of Chechen mujahideen were included in village and attacked places of deployment of aggressors. Attack was so successful, that Russian publicly were compelled to recognize, that special-troops of Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs (MIA) could not organize due resistance. Occupants have recognized that mujahideen have seized abundance of the booty weapon and have left without resistance for their bases. Chechen side informed, that as a result of special action in regional center of Vedeno, was destroyed 6 national-traitors from among so-called pro-Moscow militiamen and not less than 15 Russian invaders.

Events in vicinity of Argun gorge and in Vedeno again have shown, that victorious claims of Kremlin and assurances of Russian generals about utter annihilation of mujahideen do not correspond to reality. The same events show, that despite preparation for the possible beginning of political negotiations between Johar and Moscow, both sides prefer not to hurry on the event. Moscow in every possible way plays «anti-terrorist role», trying to bring split in groups of Chechen resistance, and even has connected to this process of the president of USA, Bush who again officially addressed to president of CRI, Maskhadov with an appeal «to break with international terrorists». And Chechen side, recalling the centuries-old experience of relations with Russia, is massively preparing for scale military actions against occupants, fairly believing, that the main pledge of success in negotiations with Russian is ability rigidly to punish aggressors.
