Zelenskyy’s 60 Minutes interview (Ukrainian)

Language translation is more art than science. Different translators have varied opinions of words and their meaning. For our interview with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, we used the services of three, independent, interpreters of the Ukrainian language. The first translation occurred in the moment, simultaneously, during the interview. Later, a second translator watched the entire interview on video and translated Ukrainian to English verbatim. In the final editing process, a third translator sat with us and verified the edits that are always necessary for clarity and concision. At some points in our story, when phrases in English and Ukrainian did not match each other in length, we made the best effort possible to convey Mr. Zelenskyy's comments with precision and context. As a service to Ukrainian speakers, we are posting the hour-long, April 7th interview in its entirety.

White House clarifies Biden's Putin comment

President Biden's unscripted words at the conclusion of his speech in Warsaw, Poland, on Saturday have followed him back to Washington. Many are still wondering what he meant when he said Russia's president "cannot remain in power." Mr. Biden and other officials said he did not call for regime change in Moscow. CBS News senior White House correspondent Weijia Jiang has the latest from Washington, and CBS News correspondent Wendy Gillette joined Vladimir Duthiers and Anne-Marie Green from Warsaw to discuss reaction to Mr. Biden's comments and the growing refugee crisis.
