Hail of Shells in Bosnia

SARAJEVO -- Serb and Moslem soldiers battled for advantage along a bitterly contested frontline Tuesday as politicians bargained over whether and for how long to stop the shooting. UN observers reported heavy shelling along a 60-kilometer north-to-south line between Gradacac and Ribnica in northern Bosnia. More than 1,100 explosions were reported. Bosnian Serbs also reported new shelling of Brcko, the key point in a narrow corridor linking holdings in Croatia and Bosnia with Serb-led Yugoslavia. The fighting came as UN officials in Geneva pressed Serbs and Muslims and their Croat allies on the other side to come to an agreement on the length of a cease-fire for the entire republic.

A Message from The Moscow Times:

Dear readers,

We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."

These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.

We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.

Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.

By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
