Before his appointment as chief of the Ground Forces, Mordvichev led the troops of the Central Military District and the "Center" group of troops.

According to the publication, General Mordvichev is 49 years old. At the beginning of the full-scale invasion, he commanded units of the 8th Army of the Southern Military District, which destroyed and occupied Mariupol, and stormed the Azovstal factory, where Ukrainian military and civilians were located.
