People saying 'it isn't safe' are generalizing the situation.
Crossing the Ukraine - Russia border from a part of Ukraine which is under the control of the Ukrainian Government is fine. It would be potentially dangerous to approach the regions in the east which are seeing active warfare and are under the control of separatists.
So what that means is, if you trace the Russia - Ukraine border from west to east you can cross at any major road crossing until (and including) Bugayevka / Prosyane in northern Luhansk Region (of Ukraine). I crossed this border in late March and it's fine, though it would not be my first choice as the roads on the Ukrainian side are truly diabolical.
Hope this is clear,
EO
