The number of killed fighters from the southern regions of Russia in Ukraine has exceeded 9600

At least 4773 fighters from the regions of the North Caucasus Federal District and 4832 fighters from the regions of the Southern Federal District have been officially recognized as killed during the special military operation in Ukraine.

Thus, at least 884 military personnel from the Krasnodar region have been officially recognized as killed. "Caucasian Knot" maintains a named list of natives of the North Caucasus Federal District and Southern Federal District who were killed in the military operation. The list is compiled based on data officially announced by representatives of the authorities and security agencies, according to the report of "Caucasian Knot" "SVO Statistics: Losses for Southern Russia are Growing".

At the end of August 2025, the administration of the Gulkievsky district reported that Sergey Brigheman was killed in the military operation.

State awards, memorial plaques, and appearances on "Channel One" do not guarantee support from the state for the families of the killed, as stated in the material of "Caucasian Knot" "Three Comrades Served: How Authorities Deny Benefits to Families of Killed Volunteers", which describes the stories of the killed fighters. "I receive only twelve thousand rubles a month for two minor children as a family of military pensioners," said the widow of one of them.
