So far, Russia has done a piss-poor job of "guaranteeing" Kyiv's safety.
Attacking Moscow and (hopefully) disrupting Putin's vainglorious "Victory Day" parades would constitute a public humiliation of Putin and an all-around p.r. coup.
Perhaps worth it.

So why hasn’t Zelinski attacked in prior years? Ah, the clue here is that had he done so, this would not still be a Special Military Operation with legal limitations imposed by the Duma. Instead if Ukraine attacked Moscow during this celebration, they would invite the real possibility of a declaration of war... by China, and any other attendees whose leaders were attacked.
Zelinski’s cocaine fueled announcements do not necessarily translate into action. Just as he was coked up at the White House visit, he is known to be unstable. The US would have approve any attack on Moscow, or suffer the consequences.
Almost every nuclear power has a simple doctrine. The US policy on being attacked in CONUS by another Nation’s Proxy is that the Sponsoring Nation is responsible for said attacks.
Ukraine attacking Moscow on that date invites the real possibility that War breaks out. The US is endnagered by Zelinski’s bluster. Even if Ukraine used a Storm Shadow supplied by Britian and US targeting data, we are still responsible.
I say Zelinski do it. Absolutely attack Moscow and harm Xi from China. NATO might find itself facing a million screaming Chinese in Ukraine.
Yeah, that's a great idea. Just like Hitler signing a non-aggression treaty with Stalin, and then turning around and invading Russia embarrassed Stalin to the point that Russia kicked Germany's ass all the way back to Berlin. Careful what you wish for.
