From the transcript
In our lead story today, we travel to the Heart of Moscow, where the murky details of some exceptionally important Kremlin intrigue have spilled out into open view.
On Sunday, the Twelfth May, the Kremlin announced that Russian President Vladimir Putin had chosen a new defense minister for his nation, a 65-year-old economist and former Deputy Prime Minister named André Belozov. With Belozov's appointment ended the long tenure of one Sergey Shoyu, who was, at least until his ouster, a close Putin friend, an ally.
The change comes at a critical moment for the Russian War Machine, as frontline successes in Ukraine's East risk being stymied by a flood of new American munitions, and the entire Russian bear shifts its posture in advance of the long war to come.
