Former President Bill Clinton says Ukraine was on Madeleine Albright's mind before her death: "Like the replay of a bad movie for her"

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.
