Since the start of the military operation in Ukraine, the deaths of at least 700 residents of Southern Russia have been officially confirmed, including 463 residents of the North-Caucasian Federal District (NCFD), and 237 residents of the Southern Federal District (SFD).

Earlier, analysts pointed to the deficit of information about the death toll in Ukraine. The true scale of losses in the special operation cannot be assessed until it is over, Alexei Malashenko has noted.
