According to the Telegram channel of the member of parliament Oleksii Honcharenko, the parliament adopted as a whole the bill No. 12102 on the formation and maintenance of a list of terrorist organizations.

The bill was supported by 282 MPs.

According to Honcharenko, the draft law provides for the following:

  • the law introduces a mechanism for including organizations in the list of terrorist organizations;
  • the list covers organizations that conduct terrorist activities in Ukraine or abroad, posing a threat to state security;
  • The Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) is responsible for maintaining the list, with clearly defined criteria for inclusion, which reduces the risk of discredit.
  • Countering terrorists

Fighting terrorism

Since the beginning of the full-scale war, the Security Service of Ukraine has regularly identified and detained Russia-supported saboteurs, agents, and provocateurs who, for example, have provided Russian intelligence services with the coordinates of targets for missile strikes.

In November, a gang that was planning a series of explosions and arson attacks in different regions of Ukraine was exposed in Odesa.
