Two fighters from Dagestan were killed in Ukraine.

Ilyas Kurbanov and Dmitry Isakin from the Kizlyar district were killed in combat. Since the beginning of the Russian operation in Ukraine, authorities have publicly named at least 1,920 Dagestani combatants killed there.

As reported by Caucasian Knot, by May 7, officials and security forces had acknowledged at least 1,918 fighters from Dagestan killed in the military operation in Ukraine.

A memorial plaque was unveiled at the Krasnovoskhodskaya school to Ilyas Kurbanov, a graduate of the school. A memorial plaque was unveiled at the Chernyaevskaya school to Dmitry Isakin. Both were killed during a military operation in Ukraine, the Kizlyar District administration reported today on Telegram.

Details of the soldiers' biographies and deaths were not provided in the statement.

Thus, at least 1,920 servicemen from Dagestan have been officially recognized as killed in the military operation.

The number of fighters from southern Russia killed in Ukraine has reached 9,050

The "Caucasian Knot" is maintaining a list of names of natives of the North Caucasus and Southern Federal Districts killed in the military operation. The list is based on data officially released by government officials and security agencies, according to the "Caucasian Knot" report "North Caucasus Military District Statistics: Losses Are Growing for Southern Russia".

In early February, the administration of Dagestan's Kizlyar District reported that Bibolat Nurgishiev, Vladislav Kurbanov, and Salim Radzhabov had been killed in Ukraine. Servicemen from Dagestan periodically record video messages to the republic's authorities asking them to resolve various social and domestic issues. In January, former SVO members stated in an appeal to the head of Dagestan that residents of the village of Ashaga-Yarak in the Khivsky District had no place to graze their livestock as a result of the sale of land for transhumance. Dagestan ranks first among the regions of the North Caucasus Federal District in the number of people killed, whose names have been officially released by the authorities. Dagestan's head, Sergey Melikov, was the first government official to announce back in February 2022 that a Russian soldier had been killed in Ukraine, acknowledging the death of officer Nurmagomed Gadzimagomedov.

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" article "Three Comrades Served: How the Authorities Are Depriving the Families of Killed Volunteers of Benefits," which describes the stories of the slain soldiers. In particular, the widow of one of the slain soldiers said that without a body, the battalion did not make payments in connection with the death of the soldier.
