Zelensky's fight against government corruption

Ukraine’s President Zelensky may be the world’s most famous wartime leader, but his ability to mobilize his country in the fight of its life wasn’t what got him elected; his pledge to fight corruption did. Now, Zelensky is purging his own government in a growing scandal linked to the unlawful procurement of wartime supplies. Historical corruption, of course, is a primary reason Ukraine had not been admitted to the European Union, and the major government shakeup is happening just as Ukraine looks likely to receive long-awaited German-made tanks from Poland. To discuss all this, Christiane speaks with former US Ambassador to Ukraine William Taylor.
