0:26Now PlayingRussian President Vladimir Putin said he doesn’t plan to change the military leadership of his country’s armed forces after replacing his defense minister earlier this week.
Putin made the comments during a televised meeting with commanders where he presented the new defense minister, Andrey Belousov.
