"Russia is definitely on the path leading to a political regulation of the situation in Chechnya," Ivanov was quoted as saying. He added that Russia "will advance further in this direction, making sure that security requirements and the protection of Chechnya's citizens and Russia's servicemen in the republic are maintained.
