Servicemen Dmitry Avilov and Alexander Tarasov were killed in the military operation, and their families received awards, the Ilovlinsky District administration reported on its Telegram channel on May 30. The publication does not provide details about the fighter's biography.

Thus, at least 1,799 fighters from the Volgograd region have been officially recognized as killed in the military operation.

The number of fighters from southern Russia killed in Ukraine has exceeded 9,150

"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 security agencies, according to the "Caucasian Knot" report "Northern Military District Statistics: Casualties Mounting in 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 the slain soldiers. "As a family of military pensioners, I receive only 12,000 rubles a month for my two minor children," the widow of one of the slain soldiers said.
