Russian President Vladimir Putin has paid tribute to Russian soldiers of the Pskovskaya Division, who died 13 years ago near the Chechen settlement of Ulus-Kert.
The soldiers died in a battle with militants led by Khattab.
"International terror has started a war against Russia. The aim of the militants was to break Russia up. These heroes refused to step back and remained loyal to their Motherland," the president said.
