"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" "SVO Statistics: Losses for Southern Russia are Growing".

Earlier, the authorities of the Urvansky district reported that Alim Kandokhov and Aslan Khuzhokov were killed in the military operation.

State awards, memorial plaques, and appearances on "Channel One" do not guarantee support from the state for the families of the killed, according to the material from "Caucasian Knot" "Three Comrades Served: How Authorities Deny Benefits to Families of Killed Volunteers", which describes the stories of the killed fighters. "No official honors were given to his family. The military enlistment office said that there was supposedly no insurance from 'Sogaz'. Supposedly, they were not insured... No one else responded, including the military prosecutor's office," a relative of one of them said.
