At least 4,194 fighters from the North Caucasus Federal District and 4,310 from the Southern Federal District have been officially recognized as killed in the military operation in Ukraine.

Kamyshin resident Rodion Akramov was killed during a special military operation, the Kamyshin administration reported today on its Telegram channel. The administration did not provide details about the fighter's biography or death in the statement.

Thus, at least 1,630 fighters from the Volgograd region have been officially recognized as killed in the military operation.

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 based on data officially released by government officials and security agencies, according to the "Caucasian Knot" report "Northeastern Military District Statistics: Losses Are Growing in Southern Russia."

After Putin announced a "partial mobilization" in September 2022, attempts were recorded in the Volgograd Region and other regions of southern Russia to mobilize people who, due to age or health, should not be sent to combat zones. The governor acknowledged that many of those mobilized do not meet the criteria established by Putin. However, the regional governor's statement did not affect the mobilization regime in Volgograd.

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" article "Three Comrades Served: How Authorities Are Depriving Families of Killed Volunteers of Benefits," which describes the stories of soldiers from other regions.
