"In order to preserve the life and health of the staff of the State Border Guard Service and citizens living at the administrative border and those following through the checkpoint, in connection with the dangerous environmental situation at the Titan plant in the territory of the temporarily occupied Crimea, a decision was made to suspend the work of Kalanchak and Chaplynka checkpoints. It will be possible to cross the administrative border with the temporarily occupied Crimea only through the Chonhar checkpoint, which is operating in the regular mode," he wrote on Facebook.
