"60 Minutes," Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and Scott Pelley

On Sunday's premiere of the new season of CBS's 60 Minutes, correspondent Scott Pelley spoke with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy.  The interview (or, more precisely, interviews) took place in Ukraine, in advance of Mr. Zelenskyy's visit, this week, to the United States.

Mr. Zelenskyy remains a remarkable world figure.  He is impressively determined, unusually smart, focused, eloquent, human.

Scott Pelley, one notes, is one of the great reporters and interviewers in CBS News's distinguished history. His piece on Sunday about President Zelenskyy was in keeping with his longtime commitment to presenting meaningful, intelligent, superb journalism.
