Ukraine has the necessary tools and capabilities to counter any Russian destabilization attempts, presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak said on Nov. 18 on the TV marathon, local media reported.

"I mean both counterintelligence and the Security Service, which work out countermeasures in order to reduce the influence of certain publications in social networks or on other platforms.”
