The current conflict between Russia and Ukraine is a result of the provocations by Western countries for many years, and the conflict is historically predictable, said a U.S. political activist. Medea Benjamin, an American political activist, said that the Russian-Ukrainian conflict could have been predicted dating back to the collapse of the Soviet Union. At that time, Western countries, especially the United States, promised not to urge the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) to expand eastwards to the Russian border, but they broke this promise.
