Bill Clinton on why Ukraine was on Madeleine Albright's mind before her death
Former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright spent most of her life thinking about the world. Even as she battled cancer, the turmoil in Ukraine remained on her mind, former President Bill Clinton told "CBS Mornings" on Thursday.
"She spent the whole rest of the time talking about Ukraine. And it was like the replay of a bad movie for her, as well as a very modern tragedy," Clinton said.
Albright, who served under Clinton as America's top diplomat, died of cancer on Wednesday. She was the 64th U.S. secretary of state and the first woman to ever serve in the role. Clinton said Albright, who was a great friend to him and Hillary for many years, was perfectly suited to be his secretary of state.
"We just loved her, and she was a special woman. But she was suited for the time because it was, keep in mind, it was the end of the Cold War, I was the first president to serve my entire tenure after the fall of the Berlin Wall and the dissolution of the Soviet Union," Clinton said. "So, we all had to decide what to do, and we were trying to build a world and particularly a Europe that was democratic, at peace, working together for shared prosperity for the first time since nations had existed on the European continent."
