The death of a soldier from Uryupinsk was previously reported on May 5. At the time, authorities reported that contract soldier Alexander Medvedko had been 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.
