A fighter from Karachay-Cherkessia was killed in the SVO zone.

Ramir Baikulov was killed in a military operation in Ukraine. Since its beginning, at least 197 fighters from Karachay-Cherkessia have been officially recognized as killed.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," by May 24, authorities and security forces had recognized at least 196 fighters from Karachay-Cherkessia as killed in the special military operation.

Ramir Baikulov was killed in a military operation, Karachayevsk Mayor Spartak Kushchetov announced on his Telegram channel.

Ramir was born on August 30, 2006, in the village of Verkhnyaya Mara and grew up and studied in the village of Mara-Ayagy. He signed a contract immediately after receiving his high school diploma. He was awarded the Order of Courage posthumously, the statement said.

Thus, since the beginning of the military operation in Ukraine, at least 197 soldiers from Karachay-Cherkessia have been officially recognized as killed.

In October 2024, Karachayevsk authorities reported that Munir Dzhashakuyev and Viktor Isayev were killed in the SVO zone.

"Caucasian Knot" maintains a list of names of natives of the North Caucasus Federal District and the Southern Federal District killed in the military operation. The list was compiled based on data officially released by government officials and security agencies, according to the "Caucasian Knot" report "NVO Statistics: Losses Are Mounting for 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 the Authorities Are Depriving the Families of Killed Volunteers of Benefits," which describes the stories of the slain soldiers. "As a family of retired military personnel, I only receive 12,000 rubles a month for my two minor children," said the widow of one of the victims.
