Think spring dialogue between Ukraine and Russia-Crosetto

(ANSA) - ROME, OCT 4 - 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". (ANSA).
