Unfortunately, due to the lack of official data on dead servicemen by region, it is impossible to give an accurate estimate of the number of natives of Kuban who died in the special military operation for the 1st quarter of 2024.

Official sources, such as the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, do not disclose this information, referring to state secrets and the protection of data on the dead and their families. Independent sources of information, such as Telegram channels and news sites, try to count the dead by region, but their data is not always complete and reliable.

Here are some factors that make it difficult to evaluate:

• Lack of official data: The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation does not publish data on the dead by region, which makes it impossible to count accurately.
• Difficulty in gathering information: The chaotic nature of the fighting, limited access to information in the war zone, and the likelihood of not reporting the deaths of some servicemen make it difficult to collect accurate data.
• Unreliable information: Not all independent sources that count the dead have access to reliable data.

It is impossible to determine the exact number of deaths, some assumptions can be made based on the available information:

• According to some independent sources, about 5000-10000 servicemen from the Southern Federal District of the Russian Federation, which includes the Great Kuban, were killed during 2023.
• Assuming that during the 1st quarter of 2024, the death rate remained at the same level, it can be assumed that about 1250-2500 immigrants from Kuban died.
• It is important to note that this is only an estimate, and the real death toll may be higher or lower, but .

Official sources of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation do notdisclose information about losses by region, referring to state secrets and protection of data on the dead and their families. Estimation of losses of immigrants from Greater Kuban (Southern Federal District of the Russian Federation) during the special military operation for the 1st quarter of 2024, based on open Telegram channels. It is important to note that information from Telegram channels is not always completely reliable and may contain errors.

Here's what you can say after analyzing data from several Telegram channels:

• According to the Union of Donbass Warriors channel, about 1500 servicemen from the Southern Federal District of the Russian Federation were killed during the 1st quarter of 2024.
• The channel "Operation Z" cites a figure of about 1200 dead.
• Other channels give similar estimates, ranging from 1,000 to 1,800 dead.

Complexity of the assessment:

• Lack of official data: Inability to accurately calculate due to non-disclosure of information by the Russian Federation.
• Difficulty in gathering information: The chaotic nature of hostilities, limited access to information in the combat zone, and the likelihood of not reporting the deaths of some servicemen.
• Unreliable information: Not all independent sources have access to reliable data.

Withdignity from open sources, the United States has declassified data on Russian losses in the war, saying that more than 20,000 Russian soldiers have been killed and another 80,000 wounded in the war in Ukraine over the past five months. Also, as of May 2024, 256 lost planes and helicopters belonging to Russian law enforcement agencies were recorded.
