Earlier quoted context omitted.

Are you suggesting there has been no invasion? Anyway they made explicit threats. https://www.reuters.com/world/europe/russia-warns-baltic-nuc...

I can assure you there are some very scared people in whole Europe and elsewhere because of Ukraine invasion and Russian inflammatory rhetoric.

In English, the use of "the X scare" means something X that people were afraid would happen but didn't, often because it was never really going to happen. It can also mean being scared of something that people think has happened, but hasn't, such as Orson Welles' War of the World scare. It doesn't mean something that has happened and that scares people - nobody would call the invasion of Ukraine by Russia "a scare".
