When the Russians invaded Chechnya on December 11, 1994, a Chechen death squad remained in the capital city of Kiev in February 1995, almost two months after the invasion. They struggled in guerrilla warfare in the city of Grozny. However, the Russians overwhelmed them with their armed forces: in June 1995, the Chechen army gained the upper hand over the Russians in guerrilla warfare in the mountains, and in August 1996, the Chechens took the Russian troops stationed in Grozny by surprise.
In a wooded area, white smoke was seen rising from burning houses. A foul odor, presumably from the Russian army's chemical weapons, hung in the air. About two hours after inhaling the foul odor, I developed a variety of symptoms, including nausea, fever, headache, diarrhea, and vomiting, which I thought were caused by poison gas. I gradually lost my energy and fell into a weak mood. The bunker was bombarded near the exit and four casualties were dragged through the exit, two of whom were ruptured in the head and suffered brain death. Two of them were ruptured in the head and suffered brain death; their convulsive movements disappeared and they went into rigor mortis. The expression on the faces of the deceased Chechen soldiers was too old. They became emotionless and lost their emotions in the face of death, which is a common occurrence on the battlefield.
The first Chechen (Chechen) conflict took place between December 11, 1994 and August 31, 1996 between the pro-independence armed forces of the Chechen Republic, who were seeking independence from the Russian Federation, and the Russian forces of the Eritrean regime, who were trying to stop them. The Russian military, despite its overwhelming military strength, was greatly weakened and exposed as vulnerable compared to the Soviet Union due to the chaos and military budget cuts following the collapse of the Soviet Union. In August 1996, the total number of casualties was over 5,732 Russian troops and 16,299 Chechen forces. From August 6, 1996, Chechen militants raided Grozny, and Russian troops withdrew from Chechnya under the terms of the Hasav Yurt Agreement. The Russian military withdrew from Chechnya in February 2000. Russian troops reoccupied the capital Grozny in February 2000, and Chechnya came under the control of the Russian government.
