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. If diplomacy fails, would Ukrainians fight in a war with Russia? 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. #Newsnight #BBCNews #BBC Newsnight is the BBC's flagship news and current affairs TV programme - with analysis, debate, exclusives, and robust interviews.
