A soldier from the Astrakhan region was killed in the SVO zone.

Zhardem Sharapiev was killed in the military operation. Since its beginning, at least 747 fighters from the Astrakhan region have been officially recognized as killed.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," by June 14, at least 746 fighters from the Astrakhan region were officially recognized as killed in the military operation. At that time, the Krasnoyarsk District administration reported that Rinat Temirbulatov and Aleksey Cherkasov were killed in the SVO zone.

Zhardem Sharapiev is originally from Kazakhstan. In 2005, his family moved to the village of Alcha in the Krasnoyarsk District. He completed 9th grade at the Alcha comprehensive school. In 2016, he entered the branch of the Agrotechnical College in the village of Krasny Yar and received the specialty of "Foreman of General Construction Work." He then worked shifts at various organizations. In November 2025, he signed a contract with the Russian Ministry of Defense. He was killed in the Kupyansk direction (Petropavlovka village). He was 28 years old, the Krasnoyarsk District Administration reported today on its Telegram channel.

Thus, at least 747 soldiers from the Astrakhan Region have been officially recognized as killed in the military operation.

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 "Northern Military District Statistics: Casualties Mounting in 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 Authorities Are Denying Benefits to Families of Killed Volunteers," which describes the stories of the slain soldiers. For example, the mother of the slain Dmitry Ukhanov said she searched for her son's body for four months, while administration and military registration and enlistment office staff inquired from her about the progress of the search without offering any assistance.
