A fighter from Kabardino-Balkaria was killed in Ukraine.
Muradin Psanukov was killed in Ukraine. Since the beginning of the military operation, at least 408 combatants from Kabardino-Balkaria have been officially recognized as killed.
As "Caucasian Knot" reported, government officials and security agencies previously officially recognized at least 407 fighters from Kabardino-Balkaria as killed since the beginning of the special 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 "Northeastern Military District Statistics: Losses Are Growing in Southern Russia."
Muradin Psanukov's death was announced following a protest held at a school in the rural settlement of Svetlovodskoye in the Zolsky District. The "Defenders of the Fatherland in Kabardino-Balkaria" foundation reported the event on its Telegram channel.
Muradin Psanukov was born on October 5, 1970, and was killed on February 27, 2024. The foundation did not provide any other details about the soldier's biography or his death in its statement.
In February, the Zolsky District administration named five natives of the district killed in Ukraine.
Thus, at least 408 soldiers from Kabardino-Balkaria have been officially recognized as killed in the SVO. The "Caucasian Knot" knows the names of 395 of them, and the deaths of another 13 were learned from the republic's authorities' report on payments to the families of those killed in 2022.
State awards, memorial plaques, and appearances on Channel One do not guarantee state support for the families of the 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 that she searched for her son's body for four months, and the administration and military registration and enlistment office staff inquired from her about the progress of the search without providing any assistance.
