Kyiv’s incursion into Russia sends a defiant message to its Western backers: We can win this war - CNN

well, even though i am happy to see some real decisiveness from the Ukrainian side,
i'll ask President Zelensky right here and now :
do you have the troops, given their equipment for (nearly) free, to march on Moscow?
or surround all of South-East Ukraine?
i think, considering the tenacity of the Russians once they embark on a war that they consider vital to win,
you'll only drag out this conflict to last multiple decades, ending in a stalemate that can be considered a defeat for you.
the trick to international war-time diplomacy is to bend in the wind like a reed.
a boxer analogy would be Muhammed Ali ("fly like a butterfly, sting like a bee").
the headlines should see peace offers (carrots) and hopeful statements from all sides at useful moments, along with the use of the proverbial stick.
