Reports that US is no longer asking Ukraine not to strike military targets in Russia, possibly a predecessor to supplying more long range weaponry to UA.
An unnamed US defense source told The Times that the Pentagon is no longer insisting that Ukraine should not strike military targets within Russia.[1] The source noted that the Pentagon has changed its perspective on this matter following the recent intensification of Russian missile strike on Ukrainian civilian infrastructure over the last few months and that the Pentagon has become less concerned regarding the risk of escalation, including nuclear escalation, with Russia.[2] The Times suggested that this development is a “green light” for Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian territory.
Giving the Russian people and Russian troops a reason to support the war seems like a terrible idea.
Ukraine can't even expel Russian troops who have absolutely no desire to fight Ukraine.
