A fighter from Dagestan was killed in Ukraine.

Sarkhan Musayev from Kizlyar was killed in combat. Since the beginning of the Russian operation in Ukraine, authorities have publicly named at least 1,835 Dagestani combatants killed there.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," by February 27, authorities officially acknowledged that at least 1,834 fighters from Dagestan had been killed in Ukraine.

The Kizlyar administration announced on its Telegram channel that the Zhukov Medal had been handed over to the family of Sarkhan Musayev, who was killed in the military operation.

The administration's announcement did not provide details about the soldier's biography or the circumstances of his death.

Thus, at least 1,835 combatants from Dagestan have been officially recognized as killed in the combat zone in Ukraine. The Caucasian Knot is maintaining a list of names of natives of the North Caucasus and Southern Federal Districts killed in the military operation. The list is based on data officially released by government officials and law enforcement agencies, according to the Caucasian Knot report "North Caucasus Military District Statistics: Casualties Are Growing for Southern 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 Authorities Are Depriving Families of Killed Volunteers of Benefits," which describes the stories of soldiers from other regions. For example, the mother of the murdered Dmitry Ukhanov said she searched for her son's body for four months, while administration and military registration and enlistment office staff inquired from her about the progress of the search without offering any assistance.
