Authorities have named the Rostov region fighter killed in Ukraine.

Igor Sivirin from the Salsky District was killed in combat. Since the beginning of the military operation in Ukraine, at least 867 combatants from the Rostov Region have been officially recognized as killed there.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," by March 1, officials and security forces had named at least 866 servicemen from the Rostov Region killed in Ukraine.

The Salsky District administration announced the death of Igor Sivirin in the military operation in Ukraine on its Telegram channel.

Igor Sivirin enlisted in the military under contract before the start of the military operation. During the fighting in 2022, his artillery brigade was sent to the Donetsk People's Republic. He served as a gunner in a howitzer platoon and was killed in May 2025 in the Krasnoarmeysky District. Sivirin is survived by his wife and two sons.

Thus, at least 867 soldiers from the Rostov Region 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 based on data officially released by government officials and security agencies, according to the Caucasian Knot report "Northern Military District Statistics: Losses Are Mounting 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 Denying Benefits to Families of Killed Volunteers," which describes the stories of soldiers from other regions. In particular, the widow of one of the killed soldiers said that without a body, the battalion did not make payments in connection with the death of the soldier.
