hmm, I've spent quite a bit of time looking online (including via Russian-language searches) and haven't found a live link to a functioning ferry from Sevastopol-Istanbul. Here is one link in Russian from Sep 2019 saying that ferry service is suspended for 2020:

Here is another site which says there is a ferry, but I'm not sure it is current:

There is a phone number there, I will try to call this week to find out.

I've looked into this, and as far as I can tell, Russians and Ukrainians can enter Crimea from the north, but not foreigners. This official link shows several road crossings into Crimea, but doesn't say anything about who can use them:

[EDIT] the link in one of the posts above seems to make clear that foreigners cannot leave/enter Ukraine from Crimea.
In any event, I've not seen anyone post here saying that they have actually crossed, although I might have missed something. Pls post if you find out more.
