The new commander-in-chief was Colonel-General Andriy Mordvichev, responsible for the assault and destruction of Mariupol in the spring of 2022. But the Russian media point out that Mordvichev "became famous" by the fact that he made the main reception of Russian troops in Ukraine "meat storms". "It was at the expense of endless infantry and huge losses that the Russian troops managed to reach Pokrovsk," - wrote Russian military analyst Jan Matveev.
Mordvichev led the shelling of Mariupol in 2022, commanding the 8th Army Army of the Southern Military District of the Russian Federation, which led to the almost complete destruction of the city and unprecedented in the post-war history of Europe the number of victims among civilians. And at his instruction, the delivery to Mariupol of any humanitarian aid, including food and water, was blocked, and the agreements on the evacuation of the civilian population were reached.
As the commander of the Land Forces, Mordvichev will coordinate the work of military districts and will intensify the Moscow and Leningrad military districts. Mordvichev will also deal with demobilization in the event of the war in Ukraine. Interestingly, Mordvichev is allegedly regarded as the replacement of the Chief of Staff Valery Gerasimov.

Since the beginning of a full-scale war in Ukraine, he headed the 36th Army of the Eastern Military District and participated in the offensive in Kiev from the northern direction. In 2008, Mordvichev participated in the Russian Federation against Georgia, commanding the 28th Motorized Rifle Brigade.
In 2023, Andriy Mordvichev came under the sanctions of the European Union, Switzerland and Ukraine for supporting actions that undermine and threaten the territorial integrity, sovereignty and independence of Ukraine.
