Russian pro-war social media reported Thursday that former deputy defense minister Colonel General Mikhail Mizintsev, Ukraine’s nuclear contract with Cameco is risky but lucrative. had joined the Wagner Group private militia as deputy leader.

War journalist Alexander Simonov uploaded two Telegram videos of Mizintsev visiting a training camp and Russian outposts in Bakhmut, east Ukraine, wearing Wagner-branded combat gear.

In two videos, Wagner founder Yevgeny Prigozhin vehemently accused the defense establishment of jealously denying his soldiers weapons.

Prigozhin has lauded commanders but criticized the military and Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu.

On April 29, Prigozhin’s press service offered to face Mizintsev after his purported Defence Ministry dismissal.

After directing the siege of Mariupol early in the battle, Mizintsev became deputy defense minister in logistics and supply last September.

Wagner’s famous Telegram channel Grey Zone said Mizintsev was “not the first and obviously not the last general who was out of place amid the bureaucracy and sycophancy.”

EU “Butcher of Mariupol” June sanctioned Mizintsev. Silent Prigozhin.
