Let’s not escalate the situation or a war might break out.

You are being pithy, but is this not the truth? We are on the first rung of a ladder that leads up to the end of the world.
The NATO strategy so far seems to be to isolate and damage Russia economically and politically and provide weapons (and one can assume intel) to Ukraine. I think it makes sense.
One of the major problems with escalation is that Russia is weak - so weak that any direct NATO intervention will almost certainly provoke some kind of nuclear response.
