Epicenters of hostilities in Chechnya

Oleg Kusov, Chechnya:

Today, the federal military called the city of Grozny, Vedenskoye and Argun gorges in Chechnya. It is according to the enemy objects in these places that Russian aviation inflicts massive missile and bomb attacks. The motorized rifle and landing units from the Botlikh district of Dagestan entered the mountain gorges of the Vedensky district and entered the village of Kiri with Chechen formations. According to the military, motorized rifles and paratroopers managed to occupy the heights around the village of Vedeno. They claim that almost all strategically important roads in the Vedensky district. However, there are no Russian military in the village of Vedeno. The divisions of the assembly and riot police for unknown reasons did not begin to "clean up" the village. The motorized rifle units of the 136th brigade occupied some settlements of the Vysokogorskaya Sharoy district. They arrived here, as they say, in order to block the roads and trails leading through the passes to Georgia. The Russian military still claim that some of the fighters of Chechen formations go through mountain passes for ammunition. The military says that they received the order to mine the main roads through the passes. Obviously, the highest military command rushes events. Today, the headquarters of federal groups moved directly to the territory of Chechnya. From now on, the headquarters of the United Federal Group in the North Caucasus will be located on the outskirts of Grozny in the village of Hankala. The headquarters of the eastern group today moved to the village of Avtura, located at the entrance to the Vedensky Gorge. The representative office of the Russian Government in Chechnya moves to the city of Gudermes. The military themselves say that behind such hasty staff maneuvers in Chechnya, first of all, there is a desire of the generals to demonstrate confidence in the nearly victorious end of the Chechen campaign to the Kremlin. "Whether such chapcoster sentiments in the Russian group are justified will show in the near future," the military themselves say.
