The article, based on a critical analysis of the current legislation governing public relations in the security and defense sector of the state, considers the state of regulatory and legal support in the fight against terrorism and the organization and forms of interaction between the fight against terrorism. One of the key phenomena that makes it impossible or difficult to realize the national interests and preserve the national values of Ukraine is terrorism – a socially dangerous activity that consists in the deliberate, targeted use of violence by hostage-taking, arson, murder, torture, intimidation or other encroachments on the life or health of innocent people or threats to commit criminal acts in order to achieve criminal goals. The organization of interaction and coordination of the activities of the subjects of the fight against terrorism is entrusted to the Anti-Terrorist Center of the Security Service of Ukraine and is carried out depending on the levels of terrorist threat by exchanging information, coordination of actions of the subjects of the fight against terrorism: "red" (real threat), "blue" (potential threat) and "yellow" (probable threat) in the form of meetings of the Interdepartmental Coordination Commission of the Anti-Terrorist Center of the Security Service of Ukraine, as well as coordination groups at regional bodies of the Security Service of Ukraine. In the case of establishing the level of terrorist threat "red" (real threat) interaction of the subjects of the fight against terrorism is through the joint implementation of combat missions in the form of anti-terrorist operation – a set of coordinated special measures to prevent, prevent and stop terrorist activities, release hostages, ensuring the security of the population, neutralizing terrorists, minimizing the consequences of terrorist activities.
