In an exclusive interview with APTV, Chechen leader Dzhokhar Dudayev is remaining defiant even as Russian troops and armour mass on the outskirts of the capital, Grozny.
He warned of a bloodbath if Russia didn't pull out.
SOUNDBITE: (Russian )
"A plan by Russia to deport Chechens from Chechnya was decided in 1991. Now the plan is the same but they've dropped the mask of Chechen opposition. It's open aggression now. There was a battle on the border with civilians and there are already victims, dead and injured. This is the situation for us. It's not new, but I declare if the world community does not stop Russia, this is the future destiny for all the people. Blood was spilled in Ingushetia, Ossetia, Azerbaijan, Karabakh, Tajikistan and the geography of killing will be more and more widespread."
SUPER CAPTION: Chechen President Dzhokhar Dudayev
