This:
"Kyiv should fight only a defensive war to avoid provoking a potential Russian escalation"
has been a mindset that fails to understand that Russia has invaded a sovereign nation, specifically targeting civilians and commits atrocities.

And just exactly at what point would Russia be able to escelate, aside from nuclear weapons?
 
Ukrainians have been seeing those sorts of scenes for thirty+ months. I can't give a "like" to grisly footage like that, but I can certainly appreciate the need for Russian civilians to see directly what this war actually means.

I only hope that doesn't include them pulling their own dead children or parents out of their own destroyed flats or schoolyards, not because it wouldn't be salutary -- it might change a mind or two about this war-- but because I hope the Ukrainians would never descend to that level.
 
So far as I've seen, Ukraine has been diligent about striking legitimate military targets, being humane to their prisoners and conducting themselves as a professional military.

On the otherhand, Russia, who is low on munitions, attacks a Ukrainian shopping center in retaliation, instead of using that weapon to help save Russian troops who are being crucified.
 
It seem the actions in Kursk forced Putin to activate his whore Lukashenka whose forces became more active, moving rocket launchers towards the Ukrainian border

Look, when a rogue, breakaway republic led by a jewish Nazi invades your neighbor, it's only prudent to adopt a higher state of military readiness.

I believe Lukashenka is cautious about getting directly involved. Sure he will give verbal support to Putin but the Belerus military is not that large and has a lot of conscripts. If they were to get involved, and suddenly lose people, I think he would be worried about it leading to a revolution against him. He doesn't have the luxury of pulling people from the backwaters like Putin does. Plus there is an active opposition. If he were to get involved it might lead to his downfall or even to Putin taking over the country proper. Either way he loses.
