Is Ukraine a Western Proxy?

I reject this idea that ukraine is a western proxy. It is, frankly, insulting to the ukranians. The in fact, have shown more agency and performance than anybody expected them to. Zelinski openly criticises the west. In fact, he saying, we're not getting enough help. But that is also because ukrane is not in nato, despite what people think. And it doesn't have a security commitment from natos. There's no lack of dialogue mechanisms right now. Both sides don't want to make certain kinds of concessions. This is e keeve's own decisions about what they 're willing to accept or not. They have red lines
