The name of the Dagestani fighter killed in Ukraine has been released.

Rashid Gasainiev from Khasavyurt was killed in combat. Since the beginning of the Russian operation in Ukraine, authorities have publicly named at least 1,836 combatants from Dagestan killed there.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," by February 27, authorities had officially recognized at least 1,835 fighters from Dagestan as killed in Ukraine.

The Khasavyurt administration held a ceremony to present a state award to the family of serviceman Rashid Gasainiev, who died in a special military operation, the district administration reported on its Telegram channel on March 2.

The Medal "For Courage" was presented to the relatives of the slain soldier by the mayor of Khasavyurt, Korgoli Korgoliyev. The administration's statement did not provide details about the soldier's biography or the circumstances of his death.

Thus, at least 1,836 combatants from Dagestan have been officially recognized as killed in the combat 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 was compiled based on data officially released by government officials and law enforcement agencies, according to the "Caucasian Knot" report "NVO 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 Authorities Are Denying Benefits to Families of Killed Volunteers," which describes the stories of fighters from other regions. "He participated in combat operations for many years and holds two Orders of Courage. But no official honors were bestowed upon his family," a relative of one of the soldiers said.
