CBS News' Holly Williams on reporting from Ukraine's front line ... (CBS News)

CBS News senior foreign correspondent Holly Williams talks with host Michael Morell about her reporting in Ukraine over the last eight years, since 2014.

Spending time with President Zelenskyy: "I went to wash my hands in the tiny little bathroom with the president of Ukraine and then was shown into the kitchen where I met his parents, who were very sort of jolly people. Putin's aims in Ukraine: "[E]verything that Vladimir Putin seems to have done in Ukraine has, as far as we can tell, had the opposite effect to what he really wanted, which is, if what he really wants is to bring Ukraine back into Moscow's orbit or even to kind of make it once again part of a sort of Russian empire, everything he's done since 2014 has had a completely opposite effect. And when you look at some of the things that occurred around Kyiv, the execution-style killings, obviously we have widespread accusations of sexual violence, of rape, I think that's very shocking."
