Incentives are:

- Russia will want to make this war as short as possible. They have their objectives (occupy Donezk and Luhansk + some more, destroy the offensive power of the Ukranian army and destroy the infrastructure needed for reinforcements ) and then declare the thing a success.

- The US wants it to go on as long as possible, so they will indirectly intervene by financing and supporting any insurgents.

I hope not, because Ukraine borders several NATO countries, and we don't want that to spill over. So I hope the US won't fund insurgents, they can't win anyway.

Those are the stated objectives only. If they were the true objectives, why are most of Russia's troops in Kyiv?
