A North Ossetian soldier was killed in Ukraine.

Viktor Bekoyev from the Mozdok district was killed in combat. Since the beginning of the military operation in Ukraine, at least 572 fighters from North Ossetia have been officially recognized as killed.

As reported by the "Caucasian Knot," by March 16, at least 571 fighters from North Ossetia had been officially recognized as killed in the military operation in Ukraine.

The Mozdok district administration reported on its Telegram channel that Viktor Bekoyev, born in 1983, was killed in the military operation in Ukraine. The funeral will take place on March 17 in the village of Vinogradnoye.

Details of the soldier's biography and the circumstances of his death were not provided in the statement.

Thus, at least 572 soldiers from North Ossetia have been officially recognized as killed in the 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 "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 Depriving Families of Killed Volunteers of Benefits", which describes the stories of soldiers from other regions. "As a family of military pensioners, I receive only twelve thousand rubles a month for two minor children," complains the wife of Vasily Shtylun, who received five million rubles from the "Veterans" unit for her husband, who was killed in 2022.
