Ukraine: 7-10 mn winter migrants feared says Crosetto

(ANSA) - ROME, NOV 16 - Between seven and 10 million Ukrainian migrants are feared to be set to leave Ukraine amid an inability to keep warm this winter, Defence Minister Guido Crosetto said on Italian TV Wednesday.
    "It is understandable that the countries of the East are nervous, the war has lasted for months and is also bringing civilians to their knees. I am very concerned about these bombings concerning the possibility of civilians getting through the winter. The tactic is very clear: create 'winter migrants' because they will not have the opportunity to warm up," said Crosetto during the recording of Porta a Porta on RaiUno.
    "There is talk - he added - of millions of people who may need to leave Ukraine, from 7 to 10 million according to the most pessimistic. It's a tactic that creates nervousness, irritation and hatred." (ANSA).
