The number of killed fighters in Ukraine from southern Russia has reached 10,000

At least 4969 fighters from the North Caucasus Federal District and 5031 from the Southern Federal District have been officially recognized as killed in the military operation in Ukraine.

Thus, at least 604 fighters from North Ossetia have been officially recognized as killed in the military operation. "Caucasian Knot" maintains a named list of natives from the North Caucasus Federal District and Southern Federal District who have been killed in the military operation. The list is compiled based on data officially announced by representatives of the authorities and security agencies, according to the report from "Caucasian Knot" "Statistics of the Special Military Operation: losses for southern Russia are increasing".

Earlier, the administration of the Mozdok district reported that Dmitry Rukhlina was 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, 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 fighters from other regions. "I receive only twelve thousand rubles a month for two minor children as a family of military pensioners," complains the wife of Vasily Shtylun, who received five million rubles from the "Veterans" unit for her husband killed in 2022.
