Ukraine strikes Russian oil sites after a major missile attack, as Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy faces a crisis over a sacked minister.

Those were the words of the Ukrainian president as his country struck Russian oil facilities in the Moscow region.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy was referring to the major ballistic missile attack that Russia carried out the night before.

So far in July, Russia has reportedly hit Ukraine with more ballistic missiles than it produces in a month.

The renewed escalation in recent days comes as Zelenskyy faces a political crisis.

How much of a rift does this crisis expose at the highest level of leadership in Ukraine? And how could that play into the hands of Russia?
