Allies must allow Ukraine to attack targets in Russia if they want to avoid a surge of Ukrainian refugees - Media.

Lifting restrictions on Ukraine's use of long-range weaponry on Russian territory has many reasons, from moral to strategic. Germany and the USA, which are the largest suppliers of weapons to Ukraine, cannot avoid doing this.

German Chancellor Olaf Scholz faces a tough question ahead of the expected victory of the far-right party "Alternative for Germany" in regional elections. He must understand that millions of Ukrainians will reach Germany, who cannot meet their basic needs due to the weather.

Scholz and his government continue to shy away from sending Taurus cruise missiles to Ukraine, as they fear provoking Russia. However, this approach must change before harm is done to Ukraine.

For US President Joe Biden, it is a matter of cost. The cost of using Patriot systems for the Pentagon amounts to billions of dollars. However, intercepting cruise missiles is also expensive. Therefore, sending costly interceptors, it is more reasonable to destroy airfields and launch installations, which is a cheaper option.

The United Kingdom and France have already stated that they are ready to give Kyiv permission to use their cruise missiles against Russia. This is an old tactic.

Ukraine has confidently shown that Russia is not invincible and can defend itself effectively if it has the appropriate weapons.
