The definition of proxy war is quite specific. It requires that a third party is waging war at the instigation or on behalf of us. This is not true. Russia attacked Ukraine and Ukraine is defending itself on its own. We only provide necessary assistance for it to do so.

Ukraine doesn't continue to fight to please us but because it is an existential matter for itself.
