Ukraine Is Becoming a Dangerous Proxy War Between Russia and the West
Russia could be trapped in a full-fledged proxy war with a vastly wealthier, more productive opponent supplying a tough, local client.
Putin’s revisionism is, ideally, not just limited to Ukraine. He wants a different European security order – one with a much larger, semi-imperial role for Russia. Alas, no one besides Moscow wants that, so the West has swung dramatically behind Ukraine. The war is indeed a proxy war.
