Putin's war in Ukraine leaves thousands of Russians cashless and stranded abroad

Phuket, Thailand — President Vladimir Putin's invasion of Ukraine has led to suffering for his own people, too, including Russians who were overseas when it started. Many are still trying to get back home, after the West's counterattack — in the form of international sanctions — left them cashless.

As CBS News senior foreign correspondent Elizabeth Palmer reports, with so many flights to Russia cancelled, there's no easy way for Russians to return before their money runs out.

Thousands of Russians are stranded in the popular tourist destination of Phuket, in Thailand. Palmer met some of them, and says the tropical beaches and turquoise seas don't look much like paradise when you're running out of money, with no way home.
