Three fighters from Dagestan were killed in the special military operation zone.
Ruslan Galimov, Abdulla Kurbankadiev, and Ruslan Magomedsaidov were killed in combat. Since the beginning of the military operation in Ukraine, authorities have named at least 2126 killed fighters from Dagestan.
As reported by "Caucasian Knot", by September 25, officials and security forces had named at least 2123 servicemen from Dagestan killed in the combat zone in Ukraine and near the border.
Ruslan Galimov, Abdulla Kurbankadiev, and Ruslan Magomedsaidov were killed in the military operation in Ukraine, and their awards were handed over to their relatives, reported the head of the Kaytagsky district, Zapir Gasanov, on his Telegram channel.
Thus, at least 2126 fighters from Dagestan have been officially recognized as killed on the Ukrainian front. "Caucasian Knot" maintains a list of the names of natives from the North Caucasus Federal District and Southern Federal District 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 from "Caucasian Knot" "Statistics of the Special Military Operation: losses are increasing for southern Russia".
In August, it became known that a native of the Kaytagsky district Vladimir Koval was killed in combat.
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 military officer, Nurmagomed Gadzhimagomedov, was killed in Ukraine.
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 from "Caucasian Knot" "Three comrades served: how authorities deprive families of killed volunteers of benefits", which describes the stories of the killed fighters. "He has two Orders of Courage. But no official honors have been given to his family," said, in particular, a relative of one of the killed.
