The Khasavyurt Accord (Chechen: Хаси-Эвлан Барт, Russian: Хасавюртовские соглашения), formally the Khasavyourt Joint Declaration and Principles for Mutual Relations, was an agreement that marked the end of the First Chechen War, signed in Khasavyurt in Dagestan on 30 August 1996 between Alexander Lebed and Aslan Maskhadov. By the time the Khasavyurt Accord was signed, Russia had suffered a significant defeat with the recapture of Grozny, the Chechen capital, by Chechen forces.
