Background to the conflict between Russia and the West:
This tension stems from the struggle for land on the Crimean peninsula. The territory is claimed by both Ukraine and Russia. This conflict has occurred since 2014, at a glance at that time Russia had occupied the Crimean peninsula from the hands of Ukrainian rulers and provided support to pro-Russian separatist rebel groups. Because for Russia, the Crimean peninsula is part of the former Soviet Union. As a result, Moscow again considers that the annexation of the Crimean peninsula is a form of assistance for the liberation of the region.

Then from the International community bloc itself that the Crimean peninsula is still a sovereign territory of Ukraine. Of course the conflict that occurred made NATO countries a little angry (America and Europe). The charges against Russia include gathering 100,000 troops to keep watch on the border with eastern Ukraine. However, Russia rejects the accusations and instead says it was Ukraine that wanted to attack Russia first by deploying nearly half of its troops to the Eastern conflict zone. Russia has even accused Ukraine of modernizing a drone strike from NATO member Turkey.

The charges leveled against the US include placing Tomahawk cruise missiles in Poland and Romania. And America is also accused of having funded about $ 25 billion into Ukraine in preparation against Russia.

Do you think there will be a potential war on the Crimean peninsula which is a seizure zone? and what is the impact on the political stability of countries in Europe, America and Russia that do not want to interfere in this dispute? Your feedback is very valuable.
