(VOVworld) - Ukraine’s parliament has allowed foreign troops to participate in the country’s military exercises next year. The draft law was submitted by Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko, with a total of 239 MPs voting in favor of the decision on Friday, above the required minimum of 226 votes. "The adoption of the law will ensure the implementation of tasks in the sphere of security and defense in the entire context of fulfilling the priority foreign policy of the state," an explanatory note reads. The law will also increase the efficiency of national programs to develop Ukraine’s armed forces and allow financial injections in the national economy by providing units of other states with goods or services.
