No offence to the US, but seriously, the moment Russia invaded Ukraine, then Ukraine has every right to defend it's self and to attack targets in Russia.
The west and especially the US have been restricting what Ukraine can and can't do, whiles Russia has no restrictions on what it can do in Ukraine.
Also at a time when the US is polarised in politics and resources are being held back, can you really blame Ukraine for wanting to take more drastic measures?
The truth is, we in the west, especially the EU and US have been talking a good deal but not delivering on it, we started out well but support is much weaker now when Ukraine needs more support, and to be fair to the EU and it's members, they are helping a lot more compared to the US, but until the EU countries start to rearm, which will take some time, most of the resources going into Ukraine is aid money not arms, the US is in a better position to deliver on the arms until the EU countries rearm over the next 2 or so years.
At the end of the day, Ukraine is in survival mode now, they are going to do whatever it takes to push Russia out of Ukraine, and attacking sites outside of Ukraine like the oil refineries in Russia makes a lot of logical sense if Ukraine can reduce the funding for the Russian war machine.
In the end, we in the west, and especially the EU and US needs to wake up, start giving Ukraine the means to push Russia out of Ukraine, then there would be little reason for them to attack sites in Russia, but at the moment, we are lacking, so Ukraine has to use other tactics, and honestly, I think they are right in doing so.
