"That is why a range of measures has been worked out in detail regarding the anti-terrorist operation," Turchynov said.

According to him, the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine and the Ukrainian Security Service have to draw up new regulations regarding a single state system for the prevention, response, and suppression of terrorist acts and the minimization of their effects.
