The only thing that could stop it is if Putin decides to pull back. Given that the situation can't be any more embarrassing to include if he pulled back, Putin is going to see this all the way through no matter what.

From what I recall, Russia have approx < 200K for the invasion. True they can redeploy some of the remaining 700K but there may not be enough time before Putin has to call uncle.
The 17 mile convoy looks like a major push. If they get to Kyiv without being substantially depleted, my guess is Kyiv is done for. Don't know the terrain and the air superiority situation, but you'd think US/Kyiv would find a way to stop it.
