At least 4,460 soldiers from the North Caucasus Federal District and 4,590 from the Southern Federal District have been officially recognized as killed in the military operation in Ukraine.

Thus, at least 1,906 combatants from Dagestan have been officially recognized as killed in Ukraine. The Caucasian Knot maintains a list of names of natives of the North Caucasus Federal District and the Southern Federal District 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 Federal District Statistics: Casualties Are Mounting for Southern Russia".

The death of a National Guard soldier from Dagestan in the North Caucasus Federal District was also reported on May 29, 2023. Then the authorities announced that Magomed Gadzhimuradov had been killed in the military operation.

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 article "Three Comrades Served: How the Authorities Are Depriving the Families of Killed Volunteers of Benefits," which describes the stories of the slain soldiers. Thus, the mother of the murdered Dmitry Ukhanov said she searched for her son's body for four months, while administration and military registration and enlistment office staff inquired about the search without providing any assistance.

The "Caucasian Knot" also reported that 18-year-old Said Murtazaliev from Dagestan was tortured by security forces in the Moscow region to sign a contract with the Ministry of Defense. In the combat zone, commanders forced him to collect money, after which the young man was declared missing. "I myself was sent to the assault, where comrade 'Spartak' said that an order had been received to erase me," Murtazaliev said in his last video message sent to his mother.
