"Exhaust their resources": Ukraine and the Russian Federation can start negotiations in the spring - the head of the Italian Ministry of Defense

Earlier in September this year the head of the Ministry of Defense of Italy predicted that the Russian-Ukrainian war will end within 7-8 months. Italian Defense Minister Guido Krozetto on October 4 at Festival Delle Città in Rome noted that in the spring of 2024 Ukraine and Russia will be able to sit at the negotiation table. About it reports the Italian news agency ANSA.

"I think the next spring can become a time when both parties exhaust their resources to achieve a breakthrough, which can make an attempt at dialogue," the head of the defense department said. In addition, the head of the Ministry of Defense of Italy suggested that, in his opinion, this winter of the Russian Federation will be able to give a likely response to the counter -offensive of Ukraine, which is currently ongoing.

The Minister Krozetto expressed this opinion during his visit to London this year. It was then that he suggested that the war in Ukraine could end within 7-8 months, that is, by the end of spring 2024. "As you know, a counter -offensive against Russian troops is not a walk in the park. I hope that in a fairly short time - the next 7–8 months - an attempt may be to end the war in Ukraine… Russia should stop Ukraine bombing for at least one day,” - He noted sergence.

In March this year, Western intelligence has published information that the Kremlin has a whole list of names of Western officials to be "removed". Among them, according to them, the Italian Defense Minister Guido Trozetto was also identified. Instead, the Italian newspaper Il Foglio, referring to these intelligence data, published material.

At the same time, she noted that it was the former President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev who ordered mercenaries from Wagner's PEC to eliminate the head of the Italian Ministry of Defense in any way. It was even called the amount of the award - $ 15 million. Minister Krozetto denied this fact, but did not deny the involvement of Wagner PEC in the migration crisis in Italy and Europe, which is the result of the "work" of this criminal group in Africa.

We will remind, Focus noted that President Volodymyr Zelenskyy excluded any peace talks to restore the full territorial integrity of Ukraine, including Crimea. He stressed that everyone wants a happy ending, but the operation of defenders is not a 1. 5-hour movie. Focus reported: NSDC Secretary Alexei Danilov stated that he considers nonsense calls to Ukraine to sit at the negotiation table with Russia.

He also reminded how in 1997 Kiev signed a treaty "On Friendship, Cooperation and Partnership" with Moscow and how it ended. Focus wrote that there is no reason to believe that in the negotiations the head of the Kremlin Vladimir Putin will behave differently about Ukraine. We will remind, at the end of June the UAE and South Africa proposed negotiations between the parliaments of Ukraine and Russia to complete the war.
