Three months later the exiled leader of the separatist government, Akhmed Zakayev,
called for a halt to armed resistance against the Chechen police force starting on 1
August and said he hoped that "starting with this day Chechens will never shoot at
each other".[21]
The exact death toll from this conflict is unknown. Unofficial estimates range from
25,000 to 50,000 dead or missing, mostly civilians in Chechnya. Russian casualties
are over 5,200 (official Russian casualty figures)[22]and are about 11,000 according to
the Committee of Soldiers' Mothers.[23]
