Former UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has openly acknowledged that the West, particularly NATO, is engaged in a proxy war in Ukraine against Russia. In a candid statement, he remarked, "Mate, let's face it... We're waging a proxy war! We're waging a proxy war but we're not giving our proxies the ability to do the job." This admission has sparked discussions about the nature of Western involvement in the conflict, with critics pointing out that it aligns with long-held views regarding NATO's role in Ukraine. Johnson's comments also highlight the complexities of the situation, suggesting that while the West is supporting Ukraine, there are limitations on the assistance provided.
