"Communist Party deputy Arshak Arshaluysovich Bardakhchiyan was killed in the SVO zone. He, an active deputy in the village of Chaltyr, Myasnikovsky District, volunteered for the front," the Rostov regional branch of the Communist Party of the Russian Federation reported on its Telegram channel. The regional branch is not providing details about the soldier's biography or death.

Thus, at least 765 soldiers from the Rostov region have been officially recognized as killed in the war zone in Ukraine. 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 law enforcement agencies, according to the "Caucasian Knot" report "North Caucasus Military District 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 soldiers from other regions.
