The number of killed fighters in Ukraine from southern Russia has reached 9800

At least 4872 fighters from the North Caucasus Federal District and 4928 from the Southern Federal District have been officially recognized as killed in the military operation in Ukraine.

Thus, at least 483 fighters from Kabardino-Balkaria have been officially recognized as killed in the military operation. "Caucasian Knot" maintains a named list of natives of the North Caucasus Federal District and Southern Federal District who have been killed in the military operation. The list is compiled based on data officially announced by representatives of the authorities and law enforcement agencies, according to the report of "Caucasian Knot" "Statistics of the special military operation: losses are increasing for southern Russia".

Earlier, the death of a fighter from the Zolsky district became known in early September. At that time, the authorities reported that in the hostilities, Murad Zhukov was killed.

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. "No official honors were given to his family. The military enlistment office said that supposedly there was no insurance from 'Sogaz'. Supposedly they were not insured... No one else responded, including the military prosecutor's office," a relative of one of them said.
