- According to the official response of the Main Judicial Administration of Ukraine, during a year and a half of the "Anti-Terrorist Operation", nine people were convicted in Ukraine under the terrorism fighting articles .

At the same time, in the spring of 2015 the State Security and Defence Service reported on 93 persons convicted for terrorism, and on thousands of cases under investigation. According to experts, the reason for the low efficiency is the position of the leadership of the country, who determined the status of the military operations in the Donbass as the "Anti-Terrorist Operation" instead of introducing the martial law regime in certain regions of Ukraine which does not necessarily implies declaring a war .
