A fighter from the Astrakhan region was killed in a military operation

Efim Kochetov was killed in a military operation in Ukraine. Since its beginning, at least 609 fighters from the Astrakhan region have been officially recognized as killed.

As "Kavkazsky Uzel" wrote, by September 8, the authorities and security forces named the names of 608 fighters from the Astrakhan region killed in the military operation in Ukraine.

Efim was born in the village of Nikolskoye on April 20, 1986. After school, he entered PU-19, where he received a carpenter's specialty. In recent years, he lived in Lipetsk, working at a metalworking plant. With the beginning of the SVO, he voluntarily signed a contract and served in Kherson for two years. Last year he was transferred to serve in the Lugansk People's Republic, the Yenotayevsky District Administration reported today.

Thus, at least 609 fighters from the Astrakhan Region have been officially recognized as killed in the military operation. "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 announced by government officials and law enforcement agencies, according to the Caucasian Knot report "NVO statistics: losses are growing for the south of 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 the authorities are depriving the families of killed volunteers of benefits", which describes the stories of fighters from other regions.
