Ukraine 2, Border Crossing

All visitors to Ukraine from Russia must make a border crossing at some point. This can be a stressful experience for travelers. When crossing by train, you can not leave your compartment; the border and customs officers will come to your compartment themselves. Most border crossings by train, unfortunately, are late and night and may involve up to four separate visits spread out over several hours — the border officers and customs workers of the country you are leaving, and the border officers and customs workers of the country you are entering.
