Is the Russia-Ukraine war a proxy war? What can data from other proxy conflicts (most of them civil wars, admittedly) tell us about the relationship between proxies and external sponsors and the eventual outcomes of those wars? Guy Burton looks at some of the data that's been provided by the Uppsala Conflict Development Program and analysed by others to get an indication on where the conflict between Russia and Ukraine might be headed and what this will mean for both Kyiv and its Western backers.
