A contract soldier from Uryupinsk was killed in a military operation.

Mikhail Selivanov was killed in combat in Ukraine. Since the beginning of the military operation, at least 1,791 soldiers from the Volgograd region have been officially recognized as killed.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," by May 24, at least 1,790 soldiers from the Volgograd region had been officially recognized as killed in the military operation in Ukraine.

Thirty-eight-year-old contract soldier Mikhail Selivanov was killed in the military operation, the Uryupinsk administration reported on its Telegram channel on May 25. Selivanov served as a rifleman and was killed in the village of Yablonovka. "He is survived by his mother," the publication notes.

Thus, at least 1,791 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 "NVO Statistics: Casualties Mounting for Southern Russia."

State awards, memorial plaques, and appearances on Channel One do not guarantee state support for the families of the slain, according to the "Caucasian Knot" report "Three Comrades Served: How Authorities Are Denying Benefits to Families of Slain Volunteers," which describes the stories of the slain soldiers. "Staff from the St. Petersburg administration and the military registration and enlistment office themselves asked me if my son's body had been found. In January 2023, I told them in response to another call that the body had been found and that I was going to get it," the mother of one of the slain soldiers said.
