Andrei Sychevoi (born May 16, 1969) is a Russian military officer. He is a Lieutenant General of the Russian Armed Forces.

On 20 July 2022, Sychevoi became commander of Russian forces of the Western Military District. He replaced Colonel General Alexander Zhuravlyov. Sychevoi was reportedly dismissed from the post by 4 September 2022.

In early September 2022, it was believed that Sychevoi had been captured by Ukrainian forces in Kharkiv. It was believed by some to be Sychevoi because the captured officer looked like Sychevoi. However it was never proven be Sychevoi who was captured.

We are talking about the top generals whom Putin trusted and strongly believed in, starting his "special operation" against Ukraine in February 2022. Against this background, General Andrey Sychevoi stands out, who at one time went through the war in Syria, but during the war in Ukraine he did not cope with the task and was dismissed from the post of commander of the Western Military District. He is 53 years old.]
