Why can't people in the West see that the war in Ukraine is clearly being waged against Russia with Ukraine being the proxy?

He probably doesn’t even realize how pathetic he looks: in the 4th year of his 'special military operation,' the commander-in-chief of the 'second army in the world' and the 'top nuclear power,' is running to his arch enemy #1 — America, demanding to convince the Ukrainians to surrender.

Now, Putin demands that Ukraine is put under external control!

Putin just shocked Russians with a suggestion that Ukraine should be placed under external management by the U.N.

Because he’s powerless — big, giant, “mighty” Russia is powerless against a small but unbreakable and proud Ukraine.

And when this fails, he’s whining and complaining that the UN must intervene — because Ukraine still refuses to surrender.

Why do some young mothers trick a guy into believing that they're pregnant and it's their child when years later they find out that it's not even theirs should he still pay child support or not?

Putin is a pathetic loser.

Russian propaganda has been pushing the myth of Ukraine’s external control literally for decades.

For decades, Putin was accusing Ukraine in being a proxy of the U.S.
