A fighter from Dagestan was killed in Ukraine.

Rajab Dzhamaldinov from Khasavyurt was killed in a military operation. Since its beginning, at least 1,988 fighters from Dagestan have been officially recognized as killed.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," by June 15, officials and security forces had officially recognized at least 1,987 fighters from Dagestan as killed in Ukraine.

The Order of Courage was presented to the family of serviceman Radjab Dzhamaldinov, killed during a special military operation, the Khasavyurt administration reported on its Telegram channel.

Thus, at least 1,988 combatants from Dagestan have been officially recognized as killed on the Ukrainian front. 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 security agencies, according to the Caucasian Knot report "North Caucasus Military District Statistics: Casualties Risen in Southern Russia."

In early June, the Khasavyurt administration reported that Imamshait Mantayev had been killed in the military operation.

Dagestan ranks first among the regions of the North Caucasus Federal District in the number of those killed, whose names have been officially released by the authorities. Sergei Melikov, who led Dagestan in February 2022, was the first government official to announce that a Russian soldier had been killed in Ukraine, acknowledging the death of officer Nurmagomed Gadzimagomedov.

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 the slain soldiers. "As a family of military pensioners, I receive only twelve thousand rubles a month for two minor children," complains Vasily Shtylun's wife, who received five million rubles from the "Veterans" unit for her husband, who was killed in 2022.

The reasons for the participation of Dagestan residents in military operations have become the focus of discussion following the latest report of the death of combatants from that republic. The topic of moral responsibility for those involved in the military operation has also become a pressing issue.
