Two soldiers from Kalmykia were killed in a military operation.
Vladislav Ochir-Arayev and Chingiz Bembeyev were killed in combat. Since the beginning of the military operation in Ukraine, at least 204 fighters from Kalmykia have been officially recognized as killed.
As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," by December 12, authorities and security forces had named 202 fighters from Kalmykia killed in the military operation in Ukraine.
Vladislav Ochir-Arayev was 27 years old. In February 2024, he signed a contract with the Russian Ministry of Defense; he was killed on April 7 of that year. The date of Chingiz Bembeev's death was not given in the Oktyabrsky District Administration's Telegram channel announcement regarding the presentation of awards to the mothers of fallen soldiers.
Thus, at least 204 servicemen from Kalmykia have been officially recognized as killed in the combat zone in Ukraine. 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 "Northeastern Military District Statistics: Losses Are Growing in Southern Russia".
