Belarusian military observe Ukraine-USA wargames Rapid Trident 2017

MINSK, 21 September (BelTA) – Representatives of the Belarusian army have observed the Ukraine-USA army exercise Rapid Trident 2017, the press service of the Belarusian Defense Ministry told BelTA.

Two representatives of the Armed Forces of Belarus went to Ukraine to observe the Ukraine-USA wargames codenamed Rapid Trident 2017 on 16-20 September.

Meanwhile, Latvia, Lithuania, Norway, Poland, Ukraine, Sweden, and Estonia sent two observers each to watch the Belarusian-Russian strategic army exercise Zapad 2017 in Belarus.

The number of personnel involved in the two army exercise did not exceed the thresholds specified by the 2011 Vienna Document on Confidence- and Security-Building Measures. Belarus and Ukraine invited observers to watch the army exercises voluntarily. The intentions were driven by the desire to bolster cooperation, by principles of good neighborhood, openness, and transparency.
