A soldier killed in Ukraine has been buried in Dagestan.

Ferman Bayramov from the Rutul district was killed in combat. Since the beginning of the Russian operation in Ukraine, authorities have released the names of at least 1,767 Dagestani combatants killed there.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," since the beginning of the Russian operation in Ukraine, authorities have publicly released the names of at least 1,766 Dagestani combatants killed there. Among the latest officially acknowledged casualties are Senior Warrant Officer Suleiman Zakaryayev from Kaspiysk and Adil Daudov from the Babayurt district.

Ferman Bayramov, killed in the combat zone in Ukraine, was buried in the village of Kala, the Rutul district administration reported.

Along with family and friends, the funeral ceremony was attended by administration officials, the public, and village residents, according to a statement on the municipality's official Telegram channel. The statement did not provide Bayramov's age, rank, or biography.

Thus, at least 1,767 soldiers from Dagestan have been officially recognized as killed on the Ukrainian front. The "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 in accordance with current laws and based on data provided by officials—from the governor to the head of the village, as well as representatives of law enforcement agencies.

According to the "Caucasian Knot," as of January 1, government and law enforcement officials had officially recognized at least 8,400 soldiers from southern Russia as killed in the military operation: 4,151 from the North Caucasus Federal District and 4,249 from the Southern Federal District. For several years now, Dagestan has consistently ranked first among the regions of the North Caucasus Federal District in terms of the number of people killed, whose names have been officially released by the authorities. Back in February 2022, Dagestan's head, Sergey Melikov, was the first government official to announce that a Russian soldier had been killed in Ukraine, acknowledging the death of officer Nurmagomed Gadzimagomedov.
