Russia's offensive against rebels in the breakaway region of Chechnya is entering a new phase. On the one hand, Russian forces are taking full control of the Russian capital Grozny, and Moscow says the war seems to be turning in its favor. On the other hand the rebels could be retreating Grozny just to fight another day—ensuring a long guerilla war. The four-month conflict topped the agenda today during Secretary of State MadelineAlbright's talks with acting¹ Russian president Vladimir Putin. Albright then left for Croatia, about which we'll hear more shortly. But first, we turn to the World's Nennet Shevek in Moscow.

"Albright and Putin met for longer than planned today—for nearly three hours. After the talks, Albright called the meeting intense, but pleasant, and offered this assessment² of Russia's acting president."

"I found him a very well informed person. He's obviously a Russian patriot³ and also someone who seeks a normal position for Russia within the West—and he struck me as a problem solver."
