A Ukrainian soldier tells CBS News Putin's forces are using Ukrainian sea mines taken during Russia's last invasion to frame her country, and starve those most in need.

She accused Russia of framing her country by using old Ukrainian mines that Putin's forces captured when Moscow annexed the Crimean Peninsula in 2014 to block the passage of food shipments now.
