A proxy war is where two powers support opposite sides in a conflict because they want ultimate control of the territory.
Russia isn't supporting one side -- it is the side, and they are the only ones wanting to control the territory.
Yes, Ukraine is fighting a war that Europe can't afford to lose. Giving that much territory, with its resources, to an enemy aggressor which is expanding onto their borders, is their war too. Honestly, they shouldn't just be supporting Ukraine -- they should be sending troops (perhaps not as NATO, but just as European allies).
