A soldier from Dagestan was killed in combat operations in Ukraine.

Chupan Butaev from Makhachkala was killed in the area of the special military operation in Ukraine. Since the beginning of the military operation, at least 2023 fighters from Dagestan have been officially recognized as killed.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", as of July 1, the authorities and law enforcement agencies have officially recognized at least 2022 fighters from Dagestan as killed in the military operation in Ukraine.

A serviceman, Chupan Butaev, was killed in the military operation in Ukraine, the administration of Makhachkala reported today on its Telegram channel.

The administration did not provide details about the biography and death of the fighter.

Thus, at least 2023 servicemen from Dagestan have been officially recognized as killed on the Ukrainian front. "Caucasian Knot" maintains a named list of natives from the North Caucasus Federal District and Southern Federal District who have been killed in the military operation. The list is compiled based on data officially announced by representatives of the authorities and law enforcement agencies, according to the report by "Caucasian Knot" "Statistics of the special military operation: losses are increasing for southern Russia".

In mid-June, the administration of Makhachkala reported that Batyir Abdullayev was killed in the area of the special military operation.

Dagestan ranks first among the regions of the North Caucasus Federal District in the number of killed whose names have been officially disclosed by the authorities. Sergey Melikov, who headed Dagestan in February 2022, was the first among the representatives of the authorities to announce that a Russian soldier had been killed in Ukraine, acknowledging the death of officer Nurmagomed Gadzhimagomedov.

State awards, memorial plaques, and appearances on "Channel One" do not guarantee support from the state for the families of the killed, according to the material by "Caucasian Knot" "Three comrades served: how the authorities deprive the families of killed volunteers of benefits", which describes the stories of the killed fighters. "No official honors were given to his family. The military enlistment office said that there was supposedly no insurance from 'Sogaz'. Supposedly, they were not insured... No one else responded, including the military prosecutor's office," a relative of one of them said.
