Ukraine’s state rail company Ukrzaliznytsia said cargo services have already stopped. Passenger services will gradually cease between now and Monday.
“In order to ensure the safety of passengers … [the railway] will cut the route of trains to Crimea off at Novooleksiyvka and Kherson,” it said in a statement, referring to two towns on the Ukrainian mainland near Crimea.
Crimea is controlled by Moscow but its only land link is with Ukraine.
