Four soldiers from Kaspiysk were killed in the SVO zone.
Shamil Magomedov, Nabi Ramazanov, Vasily Sychev, and Rashid Ismailov were killed in the military operation. Since its beginning, at least 1,986 fighters from Dagestan have been officially recognized as killed.
As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," by June 12, officials and security forces officially recognized at least 1,982 fighters from Dagestan as killed in Ukraine.
Lieutenant Shamil Magomedov, Corporals Nabi Ramazanov and Vasily Sychev, and Junior Sergeant Rashid Ismailov were killed in the SVO zone, the Kaspiysk administration reported on its Telegram channel on June 5, reporting the presentation of posthumous awards to the fighters' families.
Thus, at least 1,982 combatants 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 is based on data officially released by government officials and security agencies, according to the "Caucasian Knot" report "Northeastern Military District Statistics: Losses Are Growing for Southern Russia".
At the end of January, the Kaspiysk administration reported that Aligadzhi Rabadanov had been killed in the military operation.
Dagestan ranks first among the regions of the North Caucasus Federal District in the number of those killed, whose names have been officially released by the authorities. Sergei Melikov, who led Dagestan in February 2022, was the first government official to announce that a Russian soldier had been killed in Ukraine, acknowledging the death of officer Nurmagomed Gadzimagomedov.
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 article "Three Comrades Served: How the Authorities Are Depriving the Families of Killed Volunteers of Benefits," which describes the stories of the slain soldiers. Thus, the mother of the murdered Dmitry Ukhanov said she searched for her son's body for four months, while administration and military registration and enlistment office staff inquired about the search progress without providing any assistance.
The reasons for the participation of Dagestani residents in the fighting became the focus of discussion in the latest report of the death of combatants from that republic. The topic of moral responsibility of participants in the military operation also proved relevant.
