Three fighters from the Astrakhan region were killed in Ukraine.

Arstanbek Mukhambetov, Ramil Dusembaev and Dmitry Doronov from the Volodarsky district were killed in combat operations in Ukraine. Since the beginning of the military operation, at least 706 fighters from the Astrakhan region have been recognized as killed in it.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," by February 9, at least 703 fighters from the Astrakhan region were officially recognized as killed in the military operation.

In the Volodarsky District, a farewell ceremony was held for fellow servicemen Arstanbek Mukhambetov, Ramil Dusembayev, and Dmitry Doronov, who were killed in the military operation, the district administration reported on its Telegram channel on February 13.

Arstanbek Mukhambetov Born in 1978, he worked at a fish processing plant, and in the fall of 2022 "made the decision" to go to a military operation zone. He was killed on January 19, 2026, "while performing a combat mission," the publication states.

Ramil Dusembayev was born in 2006 in the village of Tsvetnoye and worked as a fisherman on a fishing collective farm. In July 2024, he was called up for military service, and in October 2024, he "voluntarily decided" to go to a military operation zone. Dusembayev, 20, was killed on January 26, 2026.

Dmitry Dorondov, born in 1989, worked on a rotational basis outside the Astrakhan region, and in March 2025, he signed a contract with the Ministry of Defense. He was killed on July 15, 2025, according to district authorities.

Thus, at least 706 fighters from the Astrakhan region have been officially recognized as killed in the military operation.

The "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 "Airborne 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 Denying Benefits to Families of Killed Volunteers," which describes the stories of the slain soldiers. "The combat veteran's certificate was issued only because Vasily managed to serve in the Airborne Forces for three months under contract from the military unit in Odintsovo," a relative of one of them said.
