Putin’s Proxies: Examining Russia’s Use of Private Military Companies https://share.google/jZH6oNtjBLKXxDT8t
Technically, yes - Wagner is a "proxy" for Russia, in that it is furthering Russia's aims and is not Russia. But the actors are mercenaries. They are being paid for this. No one is pretending that Russia has no hand in it - including Russia.
This is a very different thing than hijacking a country - something you and I agree the US did in Ukraine - and expending its citizens like so many disposable bic lighters to accomplish DC's aims, then throwing the broken rump state aside. There are simply very different things. Equating them is dishonest.
