Ukraine has been thrown into complete political chaos. Just hours after Russia launched a massive attack of 13 missiles and 151 drones on Kyiv, President Volodymyr Zelensky fired his highly popular Defence Minister Mykhailo Fedorov and the Prime Minister. Fedorov is seen as the brilliant mind behind Ukraine's successful drone program.
