Defence Minister Guido Crosetto said
Wednesday he thought Ukraine and Russia might start talking to
each other next spring.
"I think that next spring could be the time when, with both
sides having exhausted their weapons to try to make a
breakthrough, an attempt at dialogue can be opened," said
Crosetto at the Festival delle Città in Rome, regarding the war
in Ukraine.
President Volodymyr Zelensky has ruled out any peace talks
before Ukraine regains its full territorial integrity, including
Crimea.
Crosetto added that "a Russian response to the Ukrainian
counteroffensive is likely this winter".
