At least 4,297 soldiers from the North Caucasus Federal District and 4,454 from the Southern Federal District have been officially recognized as killed in the military operation in Ukraine.

Kommersant reported the death of Vladimir Doroshenko in the combat zone, citing a social media post by the father of slain former deputy Alexander Doroshenko.

"Private Vladimir Alexandrovich Doroshenko, born in 1994, was killed during offensive operations. He died on September 3, 2024, while performing tasks during a special military operation," Alexander Doroshenko's post reads.

Vladimir Doroshenko was the youngest deputy in the regional Duma. He repeatedly expressed a desire to participate in the North Caucasus Military District. His request was granted, and he went to the combat zone, the publication clarified.

Thus, at least 916 fighters from Stavropol 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 "Airborne 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. "The combat veteran's certificate was issued only because Vasily managed to serve three months in the Airborne Forces under contract," said the widow of one of them.
