Scott Ritter: This is a direct attack on Russia by the US, by NATO, and by non-NATO European entities

Former UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter commented on Ukraine's terrorist attack on Sevastopol and terrorist attacks in Russia’s Dagestan which “are deliberately designed to disrupt the civil life of the Russian Federation,” according to the analyst.

“The Ukrainians made a decision to use ATACMS missiles equipped with cluster munitions against a city, a civilian city. This is an act of terrorism,” Ritter emphasized.

“Ukraine since 2014 has been bombarding Russian civilian sites, cities, villages, towns for the sole purpose of inflicting death and destruction on Russian civilians. This is an act of terrorism and given that the ATACMS missiles cannot be deployed by the Ukrainians without extensive intelligence support by the United States, this is an act of terrorism by the United States against Russia,” the analyst said.

Commenting on the events in Russia’s Dagestan, Ritter highlighted that the CIA has historically made attempts to “engender a split between the Muslim and non-Muslim segments of Russian society” and failed.

“That effort failed and the effort in Dagestan will fail, too, but it doesn't absolve the parties involved of their guilt in launching what is a direct assault on the Russian Federation,” Ritter insisted.
