But so far there has been no response to the call by reformers for mass anti-war demonstrations.

Only a few hundred people attended a rally in Moscow's Gorky Park on Sunday to protest the military action. On Sunday, Deputy Prime Minister Nikolai Yegorov said new army attacks would be launched in the next few days if Chechen President Dzhokar Dudayev did not take steps to disarm his followers. Despite the nearly daily bombardment of Grozny, the Chechen capital, Dudayev and his supporters have remained defiant. The fighting has left the city badly damaged, and about half of Grozny's 400,000 people have fled. Moscow has accused Chechen leaders of turning their republic into a haven for criminals since declaring independence and has demanded they disarm and return to their place in the Russian Federation.

He also said he would go on national television on Tuesday to address the Russian people. Yeltsin has been out of public view since the troops were sent on Dec. 11.

His aides have said he was recovering from a minor nose operation. During today's meeting, Yeltsin admitted there had been some "difficulties" in the Chechen operation, but Russian forces had performed "not badly," Interfax reported. Many Russian soldiers have refused to advance on Grozny, saying they would refuse to fire on civilians. A number of military commanders have reportedly been dismissed for refusing to carry out their orders. Grozny was reported calm early today, following a rare night without a Russian bomb attack; warplanes last bombed Grozny on Sunday.

Heavy fighting was reported in villages outside the besieged city on Sunday.

FRANCOIS COUNTY SAVINGS AND LOAN ASSOCIATION (M troops I MOSCOW (AP) President Boris Yeltsin offered today to pull back Russian troops from the outskirts of the Chechen capital and said it was time to end Moscow's military campaign in the breakaway Russian republic. Yeltsin's move appeared to be an invitation for Chechen leaders to resume peace talks although they have so far rejected his demands that they disarm their supporters and abandon their drive for independence.

While calling for an end to the military campaign, he indicated Russia would move to restore its administrative control over the province. Yeltsin's comments to his hawkish Security Council were reported by the Interfax news agency. The council has been a major force behind the military operation.
