Former UN weapons inspector Scott Ritter told Sputnik that the March 2 terrorist attack in Russia’s Bryansk region was a deliberate provocation. “It’s clear there were no military objectives. This was a deliberately provocative attack, and it was an attack that was designed to anger Russia by intent. You don’t target women, children, you don’t target a civilian, a village, unless your goal is to anger Russia and provoke Russia into perhaps overreacting. I think that’s the objective,” Ritter said after being asked to comment on the attack.
“What I believe is that these people were selected to do a mission that was designed to provoke Russia into an overreaction that could then be used by the Zelenskyy government as justification for requesting even more military assistance,” Ritter stressed.
