Not sure what your plan is, but you can use all the multilateral Ukraine - Russia border crossings in the north as far as (and including) Prosyane / Bugayevka in the east of Luhansk Region (in an area under the control of the Ukrainian Government). I used this crossing last year and while it was fairly straightforward, the roads between the border and Kupyansk were just about the worst I have even seen, anywhere. If I was going back, I would recommend you cross just north of Kharkiv if that makes sense for your journey. There is also the Chornomorsk (formerly Illichivsk) to Poti ferry if you want to bypass Crimea and Abkhazia.
