"According to the information we have, there are countless cases when people crossing the border with the Russian Federation were questioned by SBU officers - what changes are happening in Crimea, you need to tell them and report them. They looked at the photos that people took in Crimea, they made them delete them so that no one would see the current changes on the peninsula," Mr. Zyryanov told journalists.
