The Moldovan government will insist on the participation of the Moldovan military in the international exercises Rapid Trident-2017 on the territory of Ukraine.

Moldovan Prime Minister Pavel Filip called on ministers to find an opportunity to send the Moldovan contingent to the exercises, reports NV referring to NewsMaker.

"On the eve of the trip to exercise in Ukraine was canceled. Prior to this, five more trips were canceled in the same way. I believe that there is no reason for this ... No one needs an untrained army.

I propose to include in the agenda the government's decision on the participation of our military in the exercises, "- said Philip.

Recall, Moldovan President Igor Dodon banned the Moldovan military from participating in the international military exercises Rapid Trident-2017, which will be held on the territory of Ukraine.

Rapid Trident-2017 will be held in early September in the Lviv region. It is expected that more than 2,500 servicemen from Ukraine and 14 partner countries will take part in them..
