A fighter from the Volgograd region was killed in the military operation.

Alexander Sitnikov was killed in combat. Since the beginning of the military operation, at least 1820 fighters from the Volgograd region have been officially recognized as killed.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", by July 28, authorities and security forces recognized at least 1819 fighters from the Volgograd region as killed in the military operation in Ukraine.

Alexander Sitnikov was born in 1978 in Dubovka. After finishing school and a veterinary college, he got married, raised two children, and moved to Petrov Val. Here, Alexander worked as a veterinarian, and before going to the special military operation, he worked on the railway. In October 2024, Alexander signed a contract, and by December 2024, he was killed near Kursk, the administration of the Kamyshin district reported on its Telegram channel.

Thus, at least 1820 fighters from the Volgograd region have been officially recognized as killed. "Caucasian Knot" maintains a named list of natives from the North Caucasus Federal District and the Southern Federal District who were killed in the military operation. The list is compiled based on data officially announced by representatives of the authorities and security agencies, according to the report from "Caucasian Knot" "Statistics of the Special Military Operation: losses are increasing for southern Russia".

The last time the death of a fighter from the Kamyshin district was reported was at the end of July 2026. At that time, authorities announced that Evgeny Zhaivoron and Alexander Guzhev were killed in the military operation.

State awards, memorial plaques, and appearances on "Channel One" do not guarantee support from the state for the families of the killed, according to the material from "Caucasian Knot" "Three comrades served: how authorities deprive families of killed volunteers of benefits", which describes the stories of the killed fighters. "He has two Orders of Courage. But no official honors have been given to his family," said, in particular, a relative of one of the killed.
