Scott Ritter reveals US already covertly backs Ukraine strikes on Russia Former Marine and UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter told Sputnik that Tony Blinken’s proposal to authorize Ukraine to take actions against Russia is merely formalizing what’s already happening covertly. “The United States has already green-lighted Ukraine to do this. The CIA has been working with Ukrainian intelligence and Russian opposition forces to take the fight into ‘Old Russia’,“ Ritter said. He emphasized that this covert war is a response to Russian successes in Ukraine but warned that Blinken’s move could escalate the conflict dangerously. Ritter believes it’s a political ploy by the Biden administration, aimed at domestic optics rather than resolving military issues. He cautioned that such escalation could lead to direct confrontation between Russia, the US, and NATO, potentially resulting in nuclear conflict.
