Not gonna lie, that headline had me on the first half. I was getting mad up until the last three words.
These limitations on Ukraine really need to be lifted. Ukraine needs freedom to attack the best strategic targets they can, whether they are in Ukraine occupied areas or in Russia. Since Russia annexed the occupied territories, there’s not a big difference anyway.
The only problem I see is that it’s escalatory. If Ukraine starts using Western-supplied weapons for offensive operations, this situation goes from supplying war material for defense (under-the-table proxy war) to full-on overt proxy war. Russia will spin this as “NATO is using Ukraine to attack us” (though they’re probably doing that already).
I can’t see how this won’t lead to a wider conflict.
Boris calling for escalation again when he’s the one who talked zelensky out of a peace deal earlier in the war? Nooo.

Wasn’t invading Ukraine escalatory in the first place?
