Scott Pelley reports from a gateway to and from the war in Ukraine, the train station in Przemysl, Poland. Ukrainians there are defiant.
Millions of civilians are fleeing the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Today, a family was killed by Russian shelling. The deaths were reported by a New York Times photographer who tweeted an image that flashed around the world. A warning, the picture is graphic.
That was the greeting of Przemysl, Poland—a town with a thousand years of history. It's had many masters, including Russia. But today, Przemysl is eight miles from Ukraine's border--the first stop on the flight to freedom.
Irina told us,"We came from Kyiv they're bombing civilians there. My son is in the military. He has kids and they can't leave." But glory is likely to be measured not in victory—but in how long defeat can be delayed. This weekend, Russian troops attacked in the north, south and east and captured the largest nuclear power plant in Europe. But what began as a blitz, has mired into a siege. A miles-long column of Russian forces stalled for days outside the capital, Kyiv. That city of 3 million has gone underground. There are no reliable counts of casualties. In Russia, Vladimir Putin led his people into a new dark age.
Olga Bilous: I am really so, so proud that we have this kind of president that he didn't leave us, he's staying with his people, he's fighting there. Eliasz Dyrov: We are first to help, and we-- welcome our Ukrainian brothers. And when I am praying to God, I am grateful to God, and I say,"Thank you God for giving me the opportunity to help these people."
