"The terrorist threat is very familiar to Ukraine, not from some stories, we know what it is to fight against terrorism in the country, our security services protected Ukraine from more than 200 terrorist acts, which were prepared in Kiev, Zaporozhye, Odessa, Kharkiv, Lviv and other Ukrainian cities. The key positions is that we aren’t scared of terrorist threat", - said he.

This is our clear position", - said Poroshenko.
