How will Zelenskyy handle the growing political crisis at home? | Inside Story

Volodymyr Zelenskyy was referring to the major ballistic missile attack Russia carried out the night before. So far in July, it's reportedly hit Ukraine with more ballistic missiles than it produces in a month. The renewed escalation comes as Zelenskyy faces a political crisis. His sacking of the defence minister has sparked protests. How much of a rift does this crisis expose at the highest level of leadership in Ukraine? And how could that play in the hands of Russia?
