The removal of Defense Minister Mykhailo Fedorov has exposed deep tensions inside Ukraine's wartime leadership, after Fedorov accused Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi of dividing the country. Former US Ambassador John Herbst says Zelenskyy removed the man “most responsible for the extraordinary success we've seen on the battlefield" recently. DW spoke with Herbst and military analyst Marina Miron about what the reshuffle means for Ukraine's war effort.
