Putin tightens control as Chechnya placed under direct rule
President Putin issued a decree to place Chechnya’s civil administration under his direct control pending parliamentary approval. The move aims to protect constitutional order and speed reconstruction while rebels pursue bold attacks. The Kremlin already governs most of Chechnya as troops hold the northern two thirds and a provisional administration would be led by a Kremlin-appointed chief.
