„Similarly, RT media, in an column titled 'Russia’s plan to invade Ukraine exists only in the US and NATO imagination', Scott Ritter wrote, "The irrational fears and knee-jerk reactions involved are all too real, and, as such, represent a situation that Russia simply cannot ignore."; In another column, Scott Ritter writes again that "Joe Biden needed an agreement with Vladimir Putin that would help reduce tensions in Europe over Ukraine and NATO expansion.
