The Telegraph's Chief Foreign Correspondent Roland Oliphant travelled with Telegraph photographer Julian Simmonds to the frontline between Ukrainian and Russian forces in the south-eastern region of Donetsk to find out how soldiers and civilians are coping as the threat of war looms.

Russia has massed upwards of 130,000 troops near its border with Ukraine and in western Belarus.

The CIA has warned Nato allies that an invasion could take place on Wednesday, following intelligence reportedly intercepted from Russian central command to troops on the ground.

The Foreign Office issued travel advice urging all British nationals to leave Ukraine.
Several other countries including Israel, Japan, Bulgaria and Germany issued similar warnings to their citizens.
