Scott Ritter
Scott Ritter is an American former United States Marine Corps intelligence officer and former United Nations Special Commission weapons inspector.
He has a history of forceful criticism of US policy, including during his time as a U.N. arms inspector in Iraq, and has more recently expressed support for Russia.
The CIA officials are part of the United States Central Intelligence Agency, which conducts intelligence and covert operations globally, including activities related to Russia and Ukraine.
Ritter and CIA officials have conflicting interests regarding the nature of US-Russia intelligence interactions.
Ritter argues that CIA Director John Ratcliffe's visit to Moscow masks the CIA's ongoing hostile activities against Russia, including support for Ukraine, and that the CIA never comes to Russia in peace.
CIA officials, by contrast, are likely to view such visits as routine diplomatic engagement, reflecting a broader disagreement over the true intent of US intelligence operations in Russia.
