A top European human rights official, mean while, urged Russia to stop the fighting and negoti ate a settlement. Chechen military commander Isa Munayev said a number of people had been killed in Grozny, while the Russians had lost a large number of soldiers and ar mored vehicles, the Interfax news agency reported. The Russians concentrated their airstrikes and ar tillery shelling on Grozny and on two satellite towns — Argun and Urus-Martan. Munayev said the fighting was particularly intense at Urus-Martan, where the militants came under “drench ing fire. ” As with earlier operations, the Russians have been bombarding the militants from afar in the expecta tion that the rebels will retreat without a full-scale in fantry battle. The strategy worked well, bringing the Russians to the outskirts of Grozny on the north, east and west. But the rebel fighters have resisted much more fiercely in recent days as the fighting has approached the capital. In Argun, three miles east of Grozny, and in Urus- Martan, about 10 miles southwest of the capital, the militants have appeared much more willing to remain and fight. The Council of Europe’s human rights commis sioner Alvaro Gil-Robles, who returned from a two- day trip to Chechnya and nearby regions today, urged negotiations. “We believe that a democratic country, and Russia is a democratic country, cannot use just any means to fight terrorism,” Gil-Robles told journalists in Moscow. “This war must be ended as soon as possible, and a political dialogue must begin.” Russia claims that its strikes are aimed against Chech nya’s militants, who are blamed for a series of terrorist Chechens well-entrenched in Grozny Russian and Chechen forces battled for control of Arp | three miles east of the capital, and the Russians unte airstrikes and artillery fire at rebel positions in awoodec] area adjacent to the town. on Russian airstrike or artillery shelling RUSSIA Russian-occupied Chechnya j nqutr Sleptsovskaya Grozny' #A, g After pacing t gie tradition t INGUSHETIA $ Approxln front lino CHECHNYA bombings in Russia, hut Chechen authorities,! and human rights groups all say that hundred: ians have also been killed.
