Family of mobilized soldier from Rostov Region seeks compensation for his death

Relatives of Igor Tatarov, a mobilized resident of the Rostov Region, appealed to the court with a claim to recognize that the man perished in the zone of the special military operation in Ukraine, since without such a recognition, the authorities do not assign compensation for his death.

Aleksandr Tatarov requests the court to recognize the fact that the cause of his son’s death on May 5, 2024, was an injury got in the zone of the special military operation (SMO). The soldier’s father explained that the commander of the military unit in Lugansk wrote that Igor Tatarov died of cerebral edema which was not connected with his military service. The commander’s wording does not allow the family to receive compensation for the soldier’s death, reports the website of the Southern District Military Court.

On January 20, 2023, it became known that Lieutenant Colonel Roman Novikov from Krasnodar, who was called up to the army during partial mobilization, obtained through the court the payment of his salary for almost a month of military service.
