Freedman, Lawrence (2023-01-23). „Ukraine is not a proxy war: It is Kyiv – not the West – which has set Ukraine’s war aims“. New Statesman. Nuoroda tikrinta 2024-05-21. „The most serious objection to this critique is that it denies Ukraine agency, which is the basic problem with all talk of a "proxy war". It suggests that the Ukrainians are only fighting because Nato put them up to it rather than because of the more obvious reason that they have been subjected to a vicious invasion, with those in occupied territories treated brutally.“
