UNIAN

"The Chongar checkpoint is temporarily not operating due to the actions of the other side. The Kalanchak and Chaplinka checkpoints are operating normally," a statement from the border service reads.

It also noted that Ukrainian citizens can "freely cross the administrative border between the mainland and temporarily occupied Crimea at [the aforementioned] checkpoints."

Ukraine recently cut of train services and restricted vehicle entry to Crimea amid tensions over the supply of electricity to the peninsula, and payment for it.
