In the past 24 hours, the losses among the federal military have amounted to about 100 men and 15 armored transport units. Their aircraft continue to carry out bombing strikes. As is known, they are employing heavy, 1.5 ton vacuum bombs, as a result of which many civilians have perished. The number of civilians killed exceeds 20,000 persons. About 80,000 persons have been wounded.
Federal soldiers continue to taunt people in so-called 'controlled' regions.
Thousands of people are being held in a filtration camp in northern Chechnia in the small town of Chernokozovo. They are being subjected to unspeakable torture, from which many have died. The existence of a filtration camp in the third millennium is a disgrace to all humanity. President Aslan Maskhadov is calling on all humanitarian organizations, and the leaders of the leading countries to compel Russia to stop taunting civilians in Chechnia, and to desist from laying land mines in entire regions, cities, villages, and roads. Every day on average 30 people are blown up by land mines, mostly women herding livestock, and children.
