Due 2014 Russian aggression against Ukraine, E50 also passes through two state-like formations - Donetsk People's Republic and Luhansk People's Republic. The original Ukraine-Russia border is open, but territories controlled by the formations may be unsafe due to War in Donbass. Note: international border-like crossing procedure exists between the so-called Donetsk People's Republic and Luhansk People's Republic which regulated by local warlords.
