Two soldiers from Dagestan were killed in Ukraine.

Sultan Alizhanov and Sultanbeg Shikhmuradov from the Kazbekovsky District were killed in combat. Since the beginning of the Russian operation in Ukraine, at least 1,812 Dagestani soldiers have been officially recognized as killed there.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," by February 17, officials and security forces had named at least 1,810 Dagestani soldiers killed in Ukraine.

The Kazbekovsky District administration held a ceremony to present state awards to the relatives of soldiers killed during a special military operation, the district administration reported on its Telegram channel on February 19.

The Order of Courage was presented to the wife of Sultan Alizhanov from the village of Guni. The Medal "For Bravery," 2nd Class, was awarded to the family of Sultanbeg Shikhmuradov, also from the village of Guni.

Thus, at least 1,812 soldiers from Dagestan have been officially recognized as killed on the Ukrainian front. 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 "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 Denying Benefits to Families of Killed Volunteers," which describes the stories of soldiers from other regions. "As a family of military pensioners, I receive only twelve thousand rubles a month for two minor children," complains the wife of Vasily Shtylun, who received five million rubles from the "Veterans" unit for her husband, who was killed in 2022.
