Ukraine: Crosetto sees exponential increase in attacks

(ANSA) - ROME, JAN 20 - Defence Minister Guido Crosetto said Friday at a meeting of countries supporting Ukraine that Russian ground attacks would increase exponentially in the coming weeks to match the hail of missiles that has been raining down on the country for weeks.
    "Every day is important to resolve the ongoing crisis," he said at Ramstein in Germany, at a meeting of the Contact Group for Ukraine's Defence.
    "We expect over the coming weeks a harshening of the war with an exponential rise of ground attacks which will join the missile attacks made by Russia in the most recent period".
    Crosetto noted that Moscow had recently trained over 300,000 new recruits. (ANSA).
