Checkpoints in Crimea operate despite restrictions from Ukraine

This was reported by TASS with reference to the message of the Border Directorate of the FSB in the Republic of Crimea.

“The automobile checkpoints of the Border Directorate of the FSB of Russia in the Republic of Crimea in the north of Crimea are operating normally,” the border department said.

According to the department, on November 7, at 09:20, the Ukrainian Kalanchak checkpoint, located opposite the Russian checkpoint "Armyansk", unilaterally stopped passing people across the state border.

“For reasons beyond the control of the Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation in the Republic of Crimea, people and vehicles cannot pass through the state border of Russia through MAPP“ Armyansk ”,” the message said.

Earlier, the Ukrainian side said that from November 7 to 15 it will stop the passage of citizens of the Kalanchak checkpoint on the border with the Crimea due to construction work of increased danger.
