I was also told that land border between UA/RU was being closed. Not sure how true that is though, as I haven't been able to find any news sources confirming this. We were told this by my MIL who lives right by the border.

This madness needs to stop. We should negotiate. People are literally getting killed because of 1954 decree by USSR totalitarian government. I get the concept of sovereign nation, borders and all. But sometimes you have to wonder why borders are drawn where they are at the first place. Khrushchev did it to gain support of Ukraine in the post-Stalin power struggle (this happened less than a year after Stalin's death). It's ridiculous that it still haunts us today.
