Alexey Agoshkov from the Oktyabrsky district was killed in combat. Since the beginning of the Russian operation in Ukraine, officials have officially recognized at least 212 fighters from Kalmykia as killed there.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," by February 6, at least 211 fighters from Kalmykia had been officially recognized as killed in the military operation.

Senior Sergeant Alexey Agoshkov, originally from Bolshoye Tsarino, was killed on January 13, 2024, near the village of Rabotino in the Zaporizhzhia region. He is survived by a 16-year-old son and a 6-year-old daughter, the Oktyabrsky district administration reported today on its Telegram channel.

Thus, at least 212 soldiers from Kalmykia have been officially recognized as killed in the military operation.

"Caucasian Knot" maintains a list of names of natives of the North Caucasus Federal District and the Southern Federal District 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 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. "He has two Orders of Courage. But no official honors have been bestowed upon his family," a relative of one of the slain soldiers said.
