A fighter from the Rostov region was killed in Ukraine.

Danil Lysenko was killed in a military operation in Ukraine. Since its beginning, at least 886 soldiers from the Rostov region have been officially recognized as killed.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," by April 18, at least 885 soldiers from the Rostov region had been officially recognized as killed in the SVO zone.

22-year-old Danil Lysenko was killed in a military operation, the Gukovo administration reported today. After school, he entered the Mining Construction College. Then he went to work as a window installer in Rostov-on-Don. He served in the Army in Crimea. After the army, Danil found work: first as a children's entertainer in Sochi, then worked in Novy Urengoy and St. Petersburg. He frequently called his fellow soldiers, who persuaded him to sign the contract. He was assigned to a training unit in Sevastopol, a motorized rifle unit of the marines, and was then sent to defend the Kursk region, where construction of a buffer zone was just beginning. He was killed on June 25, 2025, near the village of Alekseyevka in the Sumy region, the Gukovo administration reported today.

Thus, at least 886 soldiers from the Rostov region have been officially recognized as killed on the Ukrainian front. "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 "NVO Statistics: Losses Are Growing in the South of Russia".

In March, authorities in Gukovo reported that Maksim Lenkov had been killed in the NVO zone.

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. "He participated in combat operations for many years and received two Orders of Courage. But no official honors were bestowed upon his family," a relative of one of them said.
