The name of the Dagestani soldier killed in Ukraine has been released.

Arsen Alimirzoyev from Yuzhno-Sukhokumsk was killed in combat. Since the beginning of the Russian operation in Ukraine, authorities have officially recognized at least 1,802 soldiers from Dagestan as killed there.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," by February 5, authorities had officially named at least 1,801 soldiers from Dagestan killed in Ukraine.

The name of the next soldier killed in Ukraine was released by the Yuzhno-Sukhokumsk administration on February 5. The mayor presented a posthumous award to the soldier's relatives.

Arsen Alimirzoyev, who was killed, was posthumously awarded the Order of Courage, which was passed on to his son and daughter, according to a statement on the municipality's official Telegram channel. The age of the deceased and details of his biography were not provided in the officials' statement.

Thus, at least 1,802 servicemen from Dagestan have been officially recognized as killed on the Ukrainian front. The "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 released by government officials and law enforcement agencies, according to the "Caucasian Knot" report "North Caucasus Military District Statistics: Losses Are Growing for Southern Russia".

The Yuzhno-Sukhokumsk administration announced the names of three fellow countrymen killed in Ukraine in November 2025. Abdulmutalim Mutalimov, Gadzimagomed Gadzhiramazanov, and Yevgeny Kekin were posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor. In October 2025, it became known that Ibrahim Nutsalkhanov from Yuzhno-Sukhokumsk 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 described the stories of the slain soldiers. "He has two Orders of Courage. But no official honors have been bestowed upon his family," a relative of one of the slain soldiers said.
