Kremlin: Nearly 3,500 Russian soldiers killed in Chechnya

The official toll has been consistently disputed by Russia's Soldiers' Mothers Committee which says
true casualty figure may be three times higher


November 01, 2001, 02:54 PM
" MOSCOW (AFP) - The Kremlin conceded Thursday that nearly 3,500 Russian soldiers and 11,000 rebel fighters have
been killed in Chechnya in a 25-month war that officials again vowed would
continue until the last rebel was dead.

A Kremlin spokesman responsible for information on Chechnya told AFP that 3,438 Russian soldiers had died and
another 11,661 had been injured since Moscow launched its "anti-terrorist" operation on October 1, 1999."

And Chechnya will be nothing compared to the costs of a long war in Afghanistan. Something for people to think about.
