The number of fighters from southern Russia killed in Ukraine has reached 8,100.
At least 4,008 fighters from the North Caucasus Federal District and 4,092 from the Southern Federal District have been officially recognized as killed in the military operation in Ukraine.
As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," by November 23, at least 8,050 fighters from southern Russia had been officially recognized as killed in the military operation: 3,986 from the North Caucasus Federal District and 4,064 from the Southern Federal District.
The "Caucasian Knot" maintains a list of names of natives of the North Caucasus Federal District and the Southern Federal District killed in the military operation. The list was compiled in accordance with current laws and based on data provided by officials, from the governor to the head of the village, as well as representatives of law enforcement agencies.
According to the "Caucasian Knot," by November 29, government and law enforcement officials officially acknowledged the number of those killed in the military operation. At least 8,100 fighters from the south of Russia: 4,008 from the North Caucasus Federal District and 4,092 from the Southern Federal District.
Dagestan continues to have the highest number of fatalities - 1,707. Also confirmed are 847 fighters from Stavropol Krai, 522 from North Ossetia, 329 from Kabardino-Balkaria, 251 from Chechnya, 176 from Karachay-Cherkessia, and the same number from Ingushetia.
The Southern Federal District has the highest number of fatalities among its regions. (1,555) were killed in the Volgograd Region. Also confirmed dead were 790 fighters from the Krasnodar Region, 766 from the Rostov Region, 655 from the Astrakhan Region, 199 from Kalmykia, and 127 from Adygea.
The actual losses among North Caucasus security forces may be significantly higher than officially acknowledged. This situation is typical for all regions of the North Caucasus Federal District, but is particularly acute in Chechnya. In February 2023, Ramzan Kadyrov called on regional leaders not to disclose the number of those killed. "I don't understand when regional leaders trumpet the death toll in the SVO zone. My question is: why? Don't manipulate the topic of our heroes, writing that this many died in this region, and that many in another," he said.
As a reminder, the first official to report the death of a Russian soldier in the SVO zone was the head of Dagestan Sergey Melikov. On February 26, 2022, he announced that officer Nurmagomed Gadzimagomedov had been killed in Ukraine.
State awards, memorial plaques, and appearances on Channel One do not guarantee state support for the families of the slain, according to the "Caucasian Knot" article "Three Comrades Served: How the Authorities Are Depriving the Families of Slain Volunteers of Benefits," which describes the stories of slain soldiers, including those from the Krasnodar Territory.
