The first official to report that a Russian soldier was killed in the SVO zone was the head of Dagestan Sergey Melikov. On February 26, 2022, he said that officer Nurmagomed Gadzimagomedov had been killed in Ukraine.
In January, volunteers who had arrived in Chechnya to sign a military contract, complained that they were being kept locked up for weeks in order to be sent to the combat zone instead of local residents who had paid off their service. According to human rights activists, forced signing of contracts is practiced in Chechnya and security forces may create an "exchange fund" from the volunteers who arrived.
