An intercepted call from a Russian Colonel-General has revealed the shocking moment he demanded to know why a young Russian soldier had not been "mutilated" for wearing the incorrect uniform.
In the call, Col Mikhail Mizintsev dubbed the "Butcher of Mariupol", appeared to ask why the soldier had not had his "face messed up" as a result of his rule breach.
Officially known as the director of the Russian National Centre for Defence Management, Col Mizintsev is believed to be responsible for bombing a maternity hospital in Mariupol and the shelling of a theatre than had been housing up to 1,000 women, children and men.
