Official data on compensations suggest the level of losses during the SMO

Based on the amount of compensations paid for the deaths and wounds of participants in the special military operation (SMO) in Ukraine, as well as on the data on the ratio of those who perished to those wounded, it can be assumed that more than 15,000 families received compensations for the deaths of their relatives, analysts of the "We Can Explain" Telegram channel believe. From the amounts of payments to casualties' families, announced by Dagestani authorities, it follows that at least 318 families in the republic have received the due compensations.

The "Caucasian Knot" has reported that by November 8, the number of natives of Southern Russia, who perished in Ukraine, confirmed by the authorities, had reached 900 persons.

The above "We Can Explain" Telegram channel has noted that as of November 2, a total of 166.2 billion roubles had been paid for the perished militaries.

On March 29, 2022, Sergey Melikov, the head of Dagestan, announced that each casualty's family would receive one million roubles from the "All Together" Fund, the "Novoye Delo" outlet writes.

In this case, the total number of military servicemen from Dagestan who perished in Ukraine has reached 318 persons, the "Kavkaz.Realii"* project has noted.

Let us note here that as of November 9, the deaths of at least 247 natives of Dagestan have been officially confirmed since the start of the SMO in Ukraine.
