This has gone too far, and the notion that striking targets on Russian soil is an unjustified escalation is total BS. Russian criminal attacks on civilian targets in Ukraine need to be answered with decisive measures.
I agree that sooner or later Ukraine is going to have to be given the wherewithal (and approval) to hit military targets on Russian soil.

It might even be that just the threat of being able to do that turns out to be enough to stop Russian attacks on civilian infrastructure (which, arguably, could be classed as a war crime).
