Russia has the world's fourth largest economy and the world's second (by some rankings even first) strongest military. It is currently taking on basically all of NATO (which is providing all of the equipment, logistics and intel for Ukraine, basically doing everything but being the cannon fodder) by itself and winning. It is the superpower.
That it is a proxy war between two world powers on the territory of Ukraine, as a start.
Hmm? What superpower are using Russia as a proxy?

Sure. I thought both sides had to be proxies for it to be a proxy war.
