A soldier from the Volgograd region was killed in Ukraine.

Alexander Bragin from Kamyshin was killed in combat. Since the beginning of the Russian operation in Ukraine, at least 1,681 soldiers from the Volgograd region have been officially recognized as killed there.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," by February 13, at least 1,680 soldiers from the Volgograd region had been officially recognized as killed in the military operation in Ukraine.

The Kamyshin administration reported today on its Telegram channel that the Order of Courage had been presented to the family of Alexander Bragin, who was killed in the military operation.

The administration did not provide any other details about the soldier's biography or death. The event was attended by the first deputy head of Kamyshin, Dmitry Rezvov, and the military commissar of the Kamyshin district, Konstantin Egorov.

Thus, at least 1,681 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 Depriving Families of Killed Volunteers of Benefits," which describes the stories of the slain soldiers. For example, the mother of the slain Dmitry Ukhanov said she searched for her son's body for four months, while administration and military registration and enlistment office staff inquired from her about the progress of the search without offering any assistance.
