Because as soon as there is widespread acknowledgement that USA is in Ukraine, then it is war between NATO and Russia. At that point, Russia will pull out the stops. Remember the LOL of old equipment? There is a reason for that.
Right now the optics are that the Military operation are protecting Russian speaking Ukies, and they are pussy-footing their advancement for that reason. They could easily glass Kweef, but they won't, because Ukies are their babushkas.
BTW, I believe there are selected Americans in Ukraine, because one does not just supply HIMARS with an instruction manual. It takes months if not years to be accomplished enough to use them. So they would have been supplied with some operators. However, the optics must remain that USA is ONLY helping with arms and money, not Boots-on-the-ground. Besides, that would mean a declaration of war, that must pass the congress.

The West is fueled by lies. So right now, USA has plausible deniability, even though they are the major funder and arms dealer to Ukraine.
