Two soldiers from Kuban were killed in the SVO zone.

Alexander Palchik and Rafik Ragimov were killed in the military operation. Since its beginning, at least 830 fighters from Kuban have been officially recognized as killed.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," by January 9, at least 828 fighters from Krasnodar Krai had been officially recognized as killed in the military operation in Ukraine.

Rafik Ragimov was killed in a military operation in March 2025. He was 41 years old. Alexander Palchik was killed in November 2024, the Primorsko-Akhtarsky District administration reported on its Telegram channel on February 13.

Thus, at least 830 fighters from Kuban 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 released by government officials and law enforcement agencies, according to the Caucasian Knot report "Northern 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 soldiers, including those from Kuban. Thus, only one family received even partial payments, even though memorial plaques to the soldiers were erected by the authorities.
