As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," since the beginning of the military operation in Ukraine, authorities and security forces have officially recognized at least 250 fighters from Chechnya as killed in the operation.

Ibrahim Chagayev, a fighter from the village of Guni in the Vedensky District, was killed in the military operation. He served as a gunner-assistant to a grenade launcher, the Defenders of the Fatherland Foundation's Chechen branch reported on its Telegram channel, announcing the award's transfer to his father.

Thus, at least 251 fighters from Chechnya have been officially recognized as killed in the military operation (authorities have released the names of 228 killed; Ramzan Kadyrov announced the death of another 23 fighters on October 27, 2022, without naming them).

The number of fighters from southern Russia killed in Ukraine has exceeded 7,850

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 law enforcement agencies, according to the "Caucasian Knot" report "North Caucasus Military District Statistics: Losses Are Mounting for Southern 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.
