Why the appointment of a new commander isn't likely to turn the tide for Russia - DW News
DW talks to former US military general Ben Hodges about the appointment of a new commander overseeing Russia's forces in Ukraine.
Air Force General Sergei Surovikin was named by Russia's Defense Ministry on Saturday as the overall commander of Russian forces fighting in Ukraine, Moscow's third senior military appointment in a week.
This happens a day after a bridge linking Russia to Crimea was damaged by a massive explosion and amidst further Russian losses in Ukraine.
Although Russian authorities say that traffic has resumed on the Crimean bridge, ferries have now been carrying people between the peninsula and Russian.
