I see nothing wrong with this request from Zelenskyy. He is seeking permission to attack valid military targets whereas Putin is using the base to attack non-military civilian targets like cities and civilians.
Otherwise, Ukraine will be forced to fight with handicap unable to silence terror weapons against its people.
At this point Ukraine should just try making long range missiles on its own considering western nations are not budging on this.
This is not just Zelensky asking permission. It is an implied threat.
Pretty soon Ukraine will have its own native capability as they appear to be modifying Neptune missiles into long distance cruise missiles.
We should still give them permission in the mean time. Putin’s nuclear threats have proven empty time and time again. Ukraine should be able to take out every ammo depot, every airfield, and every plane that terrorizes them.
Ukraine is not doing „strikes“, Ukraine is simply defending and fighting for it‘s survival.
This should have been allowed a long time ago. Ukraine has been incredibly cooperative with the west despite the restrictions given to them. We let Israel do whatever the fuck it wants saying “they have the right to defend themselves”. Create an apartheid state? Cool. Displace an entire nation’s population? Cool. Pick fights across the Middle East? Cool. The least we can do is let Ukraine defend itself and strike military targets in deep inside Russia.
It makes our gray war red.
If he thinks it’s gonna be the difference between him losing this war & winning it why not just do it without permission?
The handcuffs need to be removed. Period.

I, for one, vote to give Ukraine weapons able to strike Vladivostok.
Should be allowed from the getgo damn it!
Nothing that has been supplied is capable of “truly long range strikes”
Permission granted.
Just do it
No limits. Let them fly!
If the West acted the way they do now back in the 30s then Europe wouldn’t exist today.
Its fucking embarrassing that we’re not even letting Ukraine fight back. The war would have been over by now if we actually stepped in and did something. At the very least close the skies over Ukraine.
Every time Russia hits a civilian target NATO allows a retaliatory deep strike.
