The Only 'Agency' Ukraine Has Is The Central Intelligence Kind
"That Ukraine has lacked independent agency in this war and the events leading up to it is something you are simply not allowed to say.
Well, I'm saying it."

"This IS a proxy war. Kyiv IS a puppet regime. Ukraine does NOT have independent agency in any meaningful way."

"You're denying the agency of Ukrainians!"
This is a line you've probably had bleated at you by propagandized empire livestock if you've engaged in online debate about the role western powers have played in paving the way to this war.

Imperial narrative managers have even been working overtime to make the word "westsplaining" happen, which is their progressive-sounding term for when one makes the self-evident observation that western powers influence world events.

The US alliance is pouring billions worth of weapons into Ukraine, the CIA has been training Ukrainians to kill Russians, the US intelligence cartel is directly sharing military intelligence with Kyiv. This is a proxy war. That's what those words mean.

In an excellent article for Multipolarista titled "Ukrainian leftist criticizes Western war drive with Russia: US is using Ukraine as ‘cannon fodder’", Ukrainian-American Yuliy Dubovyk writes the following:

Yes indeedy. Amid all the phony profile pic activism and concern trolling about denial of Ukraine's "agency", no concern whatsoever has been shown for actual, known assaults on Ukrainian independence by the US-centralized empire.
I mean where was all this reverence for Ukraine's "agency" in 2004, when The Guardian reported this?

Where was the respect for Ukraine's "agency" in 2014, when a leaked phone call showed US officials casually discussing who they were going to select as Ukraine's next Prime Minister following a US-backed coup in Kyiv?
Where was all this respect for Ukraine's "agency" in 2018, when Joe Biden openly boasted before the Council on Foreign Relations that he had used his power as Obama's Vice President to brazenly interfere in Ukraine's judicial system?

The US empire does not care about Ukraine's sovereignty beyond what measures need to be taken to actively subvert it. When people object to criticisms of western interventionism in Ukraine, all they're actually doing is defending the most powerful empire that has ever existed.
You can't fix a problem you don't understand, and until there's widespread understanding of the way the US empire uses proxies to advance its agendas of global domination, nothing can be done to stop these ugly proxy wars from happening.
