“Russia’s decision to invade Ukraine on February 24, 2022 was not an unprovoked act of aggression, but rather a legitimate exercise of its right, together with the newly independent republics of Lugansk and Donetsk, of preemptive collective self-defense in the face of the imminent threat of aggression by Ukraine’s newly trained army which was, by design, little more than a NATO proxy.” [1]
- Pekka Kallioniemi, “In today's #vatnik soup I'll introduce an American arms inspector, convicted criminal and a pro-Russian propagandist, Scott Ritter (@RealScottRitter). He's best known for his biased takes on the Russo-Ukrainian War, his propaganda work for RT and for his sex offenses.” (thread) (pdf)

- Scott Ritter, “For those who have bought into the fiction of a noble Ukrainian resistance, you do not understand modern war. The Ukrainian Military will be annihilated in short order; any Ukrainian militia dumb enough to try to pull a trigger will not live to see another day. This is reality.”, February 17, 2022
- Scott Ritter, “Lvov is the heart of this cancer. There cannot be de-Nazification without Russia taking that city and purging this poison. Just a heads up for those who think this ends when Kiev falls.”, March 4, 2022
- Scott Ritter, “I’ve always viewed the Kiev operation as a means of fixing significant Ukrainian forces in place, and siphoning off reserves/reinforcements that could otherwise be sent east/south. Taking a city of 3-plus million was never in the cards.”, March 25 2022
- Scott Ritter, “This war will go down in history as a strategic Russian victory. Russia will have halted NATO expansion, destroyed a dangerous den of Nazi ideology in Ukraine, redefined European security by undermining NATO, and demonstrated Russian military prowess, an important deterrent.”, March 27, 2022
