Mazda05 - regarding closed roads, when there are conflicts we usually invoke our "on the ground policy", and we frequently ask complainants to show us proof that there are signs (or fences, or gates) at the location that say a road is closed (or reserved for private use etc.). Am I right in assuming that, were I to visit this border crossing, I would find no signs that prohibit a border crossing, and I would see many people crossing this border without being stopped by anybody?

Am I right in assuming that, even though this area is not currently controlled by Ukraine and people may cross freely, if someone were filmed crossing this border and the person would later find themselves in an Ukrainian-controlled area, they could be subject to criminal proceedings for illegal border crossing?
