The State Border Service of Ukraine argues that the number of people wishing to visit the Crimea, compared with last year decreased.

"Statistics for May from the beginning of the month shows, from 1 to 18 May the number of citizens who crossed the administrative boundary is 108 thousand people, and the number of vehicles - 19 thousand. Last year, for the same period, it was 118 thousand people and 22 thousand vehicles, that is, there is a decrease compared to last year, "said the head of the department for interaction with the mass media Andrey Demchenko to" Ukrainska Pravda ".

Demchenko also commented on the FSB information about the growth in the number of invalid documents representing "citizens of the neighboring state".

"Most likely, this applies to citizens who travel from the Crimea, because we do not fix the returns of people," he added..

As reported by the "Observer", earlier in the Federal Security Service of Russia boasted the growth of passenger traffic from Ukraine to the territory of the occupied Crimea.
