Two soldiers from Kalmykia were killed in the SVO zone.

Baatr Kukayev and Pavel Sharapov were killed in combat. Since the beginning of the military operation in Ukraine, at least 231 soldiers from Kalmykia have been officially recognized as killed.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," by June 9, security forces and officials had officially recognized at least 229 soldiers from Kalmykia as killed in combat in Ukraine.

New memorial plaques were unveiled at the Alley of Memory for fellow countrymen who died in the special military operation zone, the Priyutnensky District Administration reported on June 12. Among the names mentioned are Baatr Kukayev and Pavel Sharapov; details of their biographies were not provided on the district administration's Telegram channel.

Thus, at least 231 soldiers from Kalmykia have been officially recognized as killed in the military operation.

In August 2025, the Priyutnensky District administration reported that mobilized soldier Pavel Raspopov was killed in the North Caucasus Military District.

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 "NVO Statistics: Losses Are Growing 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 the slain soldiers. Thus, the mother of the murdered Dmitry Ukhanov said that she searched for her son's body for four months, and the administration and military registration and enlistment office staff inquired about the search progress from her without providing any assistance.
