Top Russian logistics general replaced by ‘the Butcher of Mariupol’

Four-star Russian general Dmitry Bulgakov – the deputy defence minister in charge of logistics in the war – has been replaced and will be transferred to another role, the defence ministry said.

The move was widely seen as a punishment for the flaws in supporting operations in Ukraine. His new role has not been announced.

Some analysts believe logistics are the weak link in the Russian army, causing difficulties since the launch of the offensive in February.

He will be replaced by Colonel General Mikhail Mizintsev, who is under UK sanctions over his role in the siege of Mariupol.

The Ukrainian port city was seized by Russian troops in May.

Mizintsev, 60, has been dubbed ‘the Butcher of Mariupol’.

The UK government said he is known for using reprehensible tactics, including shelling civilian centres in both Aleppo, Syria, in 2015-16 and later in Mariupol – where atrocities were perpetuated against Ukrainians.
