Sergey Filippov from the Novoanninsky District was killed in combat in Ukraine. Since the beginning of the military operation, at least 1,790 soldiers from the Volgograd Region have been officially recognized as killed in it.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," by May 20, at least 1,789 soldiers from the Volgograd Region had been officially recognized as killed in the military operation in Ukraine.

28-year-old Sergey Filippov from the Satarovsky khutor in the Novoanninsky District was killed in the military operation, the Volgograd publication "City News," founded by the municipal institution "IAV," reported on May 24.

"Filippov went to the SVO zone in December 2025. He served as a driver-mechanic. He died on March 2, 2026," the publication states.

Thus, at least 1,790 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.
