Vasily Volkov was killed in combat in Ukraine. Since the beginning of the military operation, at least 1,715 soldiers from the Volgograd region have been officially recognized as killed in it.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," by March 7, at least 1,714 soldiers from the Volgograd region were officially recognized as killed in the military operation in Ukraine.

Vasily Volkov from Volzhsky was killed in the military operation, Andrei Gimbatov, a State Duma deputy from the Volgograd region, reported on his Telegram channel.

Before being sent to the combat zone, Volkov worked at a "large industrial enterprise," started a family, and became a father, the publication notes.

Thus, at least 1,715 soldiers from the Volgograd region have been officially recognized as killed in the military operation.

"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 slain soldiers. "As a family of military pensioners, I receive only twelve thousand rubles a month for two minor children," lamented the widow of a soldier who received a payment from the "Veterans" unit for her slain husband.
