There is no indication that the current issues in Ukraine will have any impact on travellers crossing into Russia. The border crossing appear to be functioning as normal at the moment.
I'm due to cross into Russia from Ukraine about 18th April, so will post my experience once we've crossed. Due to the situation in the eastern Ukraine cities such as Kharkiv and Donestsk, I'm thinking of adjusting our route slightly to avoid those cities. I'm thinking of heading east from Kiev and crossing the border near to Sumy, thereby missing most of the eastern section of Ukraine.
