A soldier from Ingushetia was killed in the special military operation zone.

Vaha Getagazov from the Sunzhensky district was killed in combat. Since the beginning of the military operation in Ukraine, at least 213 fighters from Ingushetia have been officially recognized as killed.

As reported by "Caucasian Knot", by September 11, at least 212 fighters from Ingushetia were officially recognized as killed in the military operation in Ukraine .

The recruitment of fighters from other regions into the "Erzi" battalion has become a forced measure

Today, the branch of the fund "Defenders of the Fatherland | Republic of Ingushetia" reported on the opening of a memorial desk in school No. 6 of Karabulak for Vaha Getagazov, who was killed in the military operation, on its Telegram channel.

Vaha Getagazov was born on September 30, 1994, in the Sunzhensky district. After school, he was drafted into the army. In 2024, he went to the special military operation zone, was awarded the Order of Courage, and in May 2025, he was declared missing.

Thus, at least 213 fighters from Ingushetia have been officially recognized as killed. "Caucasian Knot" maintains a named list of natives from the North Caucasus Federal District and 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 law enforcement agencies, as stated in the "Caucasian Knot" report "SVO Statistics: Losses in Southern Russia are Increasing".

In early April, it became known that Alik Mestoiev, who was killed during the military operation, was buried in the village of Troitskoye in the Sunzhensky district of Ingushetia.

State awards, memorial plaques, and appearances on "Channel One" do not guarantee support from the state for the families of the killed, as stated in the material of the "Caucasian Knot" "Three Comrades Served: How Authorities Deny Benefits to Families of Killed Volunteers", which describes the stories of fighters from other regions. "I receive only twelve thousand rubles a month for two minor children as a family of military pensioners," complains the wife of Vasily Shtylun, who received five million rubles from the "Veterans" unit for her husband, who was killed in 2022.
