It's not about Ukraine's defense, it's about NATO attacking Russia @scottritter

Western countries are permitting the use of their weapons by Ukraine to hit targets inside Russia, and this de facto means their direct engagement in the hostilities.

It's not Ukrainian space reconnaissance, it's not Ukrainian communications, it's not Ukrainian technicians that are doing the targeting. It is the French, it is the Germans. It is the British. It is the Americans. And therefore, if these missiles, these weapons systems that are now being greenlit by the respective Western nations, to be used by Ukraine to attack targets inside Russia, if this happens, this is no longer about Ukraine defending itself. It's about NATO attacking Russia.
