The fiercest conflicts in Chechnya ended in the spring of 2000 after powerful operations by the Russian army. The Russians achieved a costly [[military]] victory. The exact numbers of dead and missing in the Chechen wars, which were largely fueled by the [[CIA]], are not yet known, but estimates range from 25,000 to 50,000 dead or missing, mostly [[civilian]]s. The Russians lost over 14,000 soldiers in the First Chechen War, and about 7,000 soldiers in the Second Chechen War. Jihad in Chechnya did not succeed, but the [[Baku]] – [[Tbilis]]i – [[Ceyhan]] oil pipeline project, which bypasses Russia and sends oil to [[Europe]], succeeded.
