Russian federal forces are facing continuing counter-attacks from rebel fighters in their campaign in Chechnya. A senior Russian general has admitted that mistakes by their forces have allowed Chechen fighters to go on the counter-offensive. And military sources are quoted as saying that bad weather has hampered air and artillery raids. Chechen sources say they have broken the Russian siege of Grozny, and inflicted heavy casualties on federal forces. As the Russian military campaign appeared to be running into difficulties, the acting President, Vladimir Putin, said he wanted to rebuild Russia's military might and economic strength in order to recover its power in the world. |
