Andrej Mordvichev

Andrej Mordvichev is a Russian military commander known for his role in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, particularly recognized as the 'conqueror' of Mariupol. Recently, he has been appointed as the new commander of the ground forces, a change that has been welcomed by ultranationalist factions and media outlets in Russia. His leadership is seen as a sign of a more aggressive military stance, aligning with the sentiments of the so-called 'Patrioti Z,' who advocate for continued military action in Ukraine.
