Two Chechen fighters killed on Ukrainian front

Viskhadzhi Vakhayev and Tamerlan Mutsayev were killed in combat. Since the beginning of the military operation in Ukraine, at least 249 fighters from Chechnya have been officially recognized as killed.

As "Kavkazsky Uzel" reported, since the beginning of the military operation, the authorities and security forces have officially recognized at least 247 fighters from Chechnya as killed in the military operation.

In the Shali district, memorial plaques were installed and posthumous awards were presented to the families of the fighters killed in the military operation in Ukraine, reported the Grozny State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company. The TV company's story does not indicate how many of the killed fighters' relatives received awards; only the names of Viskhadzhi (Turko) Vakhayev and Tamerlan Mutsayev are given.

Thus, at least 249 fighters from Chechnya have been officially recognized as killed in the military operation (the authorities have released the names of 226 killed fighters; Ramzan Kadyrov reported the death of another 23 fighters on October 27, 2022, without naming names).

"Caucasian Knot" maintains a list of names of natives of the North Caucasus and Southern Federal Districts killed in the military operation. The list was compiled based on data officially announced by government officials and law enforcement agencies, according to the Caucasian Knot report "NVO statistics: losses are growing for the south of Russia".

State awards, memorial plaques and appearances on Channel One do not guarantee state support for the families of those killed, according to the Caucasian Knot report "Three comrades served: how the authorities are depriving the families of killed volunteers of benefits", which describes the stories of fighters from other regions.
