Authorities recognized at least 9550 fighters from southern Russia as killed in the military operation

At least 4755 fighters from the North Caucasus Federal District and 4795 military personnel from the Southern Federal District have been officially recognized as killed in the special operation in Ukraine.

Thus, at least 758 fighters from the Astrakhan region have been officially recognized as killed. "Caucasian Knot" maintains a named list of natives from the North Caucasus Federal District and Southern Federal District who were killed in the military operation. The list is compiled based on data officially announced by representatives of the authorities and law enforcement agencies, according to the report from "Caucasian Knot" "Statistics of the special military operation: losses are increasing for southern Russia".

State awards, memorial plaques, and appearances on "Channel One" do not guarantee support from the state for the families of the killed, as stated in the material from "Caucasian Knot" "Three comrades served: how authorities deprive families of killed volunteers of benefits", which describes the stories of the killed fighters. "I receive only twelve thousand rubles a month for two minor children as a family of military pensioners," complains the widow of Vasily Shtylun, who received five million rubles from the "Veterans" unit for her husband killed in 2022.
