Three fighters from Novoshakhtinsk were killed in the military operation.

Artem Zhabotinsky, Dmitry Aliev, Maxim Belobaev were killed in combat. Since the beginning of the military operation in Ukraine, at least 1024 fighters from the Rostov region have been officially recognized as killed.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", earlier the authorities and security forces officially recognized at least 1021 fighters from the Rostov region as killed in Ukraine.

Representatives of the Novoshakhtinsk administration presented awards to the families of three fighters killed in the special military operation zone. In a publication on the city's Telegram channel, the names of the three killed were mentioned: Artem Zhabotinsky, Dmitry Aliev, Maxim Belobaev.

Thus, at least 1024 combatants from the Rostov region have been officially recognized as killed on the Ukrainian front. "Caucasian Knot" maintains a named list of natives of the North Caucasus Federal District and Southern Federal District 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" "Statistics of the Special Military Operation: losses in southern Russia are increasing".

In July, the Novoshakhtinsk administration named 12 fighters killed in Ukraine.

State awards, memorial plaques, and appearances on "Channel One" do not guarantee support from the state for the families of the killed, according to the material of "Caucasian Knot" "Three comrades served: how the authorities deprive the families of killed volunteers of benefits", which describes the stories of the killed fighters. "I receive only 12 thousand rubles a month for two minor children as a family of military pensioners," said, in particular, the widow of one of the killed.
