No — there is currently no reliable public source that confirms Ratko Mladić is left-handed.

Ratko Mladić is a former Bosnian Serb military leader who served as the Chief of the Main Staff of the Army of Republika Srpska (VRS) during the Bosnian War from 1992 to 1995.

He was indicted by the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY) on charges of war crimes, crimes against humanity, and genocide, including for his role in the siege of Sarajevo and the Srebrenica massacre.

After years as an international fugitive, Mladić was arrested in Serbia in May 2011 and extradited to The Hague. His trial commenced in 2012.

In 2017, he was found guilty by the ICTY and sentenced to life imprisonment. This conviction was upheld on appeal by the International Residual Mechanism for Criminal Tribunals (IRMCT) in 2021.
