"The government suggests giving the National Security and Defense Council, whose decisions are endorsed by presidential decrees, [the powers] to determine terrorist organizations and to draw up a list of such organizations, which will then be endorsed by a presidential decree," Yatseniuk said while opening a government meeting on Wednesday.
