Whilst this might (emphasis on the might) be a good idea in a purely military world, it would not be useful in the real world. Military action is an extension of politics. Ukraine is viewed as the good people being attacked by the bad. They get a lot of support, both home and abroad because of this. If they launch even a limited attack into Russian or Belarusian territory they will compromise this position, and potentially lose support now or in the future at home or abroad. You can never forget that war is politics, and not the other way around.
