On Ukraine’s border as tensions escalate with Russia

Russia has some 100,000 troops near Ukraine - but denies planning to invade.

The tensions come eight years after Russia annexed Ukraine's southern Crimea peninsula and backed a bloody rebellion in the eastern Donbas region.

Newsnight’s international editor Gabriel Gatehouse reports from Ukraine’s border with Belarus.

This film was produced by Mihret Yohannes and shot by Jack Garland.
