Putin Fires ‘Butcher of Mariupol’ Russian General, Mikhail Mizintsev

The Russian commander known as “the Butcher of Mariupol” has been removed from his position, according to a Russian war correspondent.
Colonel-General Mikhail Mizintsev has garnered a reputation for ruthless brutality in Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine. He is particularly associated with the bombardment of the southern port city of Mariupol, which Moscow claimed in May 2022.
Mizintsev was appointed deputy defense minister for logistics in late September 2022, state media reported. The “butcher will build a new slaughterhouse,” Ukraine’s defense ministry tweeted as the news broke.
He has now been “fired” from his position, according to a Telegram post from Alexander Sladkov, a correspondent for the state-run newspaper Izvestia.
“Mikhail Mizintsev has had an interesting fate this year,” Sladkov wrote on Thursday, describing the commander as a “friend.”
He added that Mizintsev had “had no direct relation to the storming of the city” of Mariupol.
In a follow-up post, Sladkov said Alexei Kuzmenkov, reportedly the deputy head of Russia’s National Guard, would replace Mizintsev in the logistics role. (Excerpt)
