Madeleine Albright was more concerned about Ukraine war than her health – Clinton

In one of her last known conversations, former Secretary of State, Madeleine Albright didn’t want to talk about her cancer but instead was more interested in the war in Ukraine.

“She spent the entire conversation talking about how Ukraine had to be defended,” former President Bill Clinton said on CNN Wednesday night, hours after Ms. Albright’s death was announced.

Mr. Clinton, who said he spoke with Ms. Albright two weeks ago, recalled that she said the Ukrainians “had clearly proved that they didn’t want to be part of Russia…and the idea that [Russian President Vladimir] Putin was trying to sell the argument that a country with a Jewish president was actually a Nazi country was patently absurd.”

Mr. Clinton added: “She just wanted to support whatever we could do to back Ukraine. And that’s all she wanted to talk about. She was happy. She was upbeat. And she didn’t want to venture into her health challenges. She said, ‘I’m being treated. I’m doing the best I can.’ “
