    How can they drive back Russian forces if they can’t act against military targets behind enemy lines? Seems to be an unnecessary limitation as this point.

      What are you talking about? Did the US put those limits on the strikes inside Russia?

        US and EU as far as I know. I guess it has to do with treaties and policies about proxy wars. If a country sends weapons to another country and tells that contrary to attack a third country, I think it’s considered an act of war from the country that sent the weapons. IANAL

        Edit: especially considering that Russia has long since claimed that Ukraine is just a pawn of the West

          ??? This was like the second biggest news story of the past week? The point of the article is about the relaxation of those limits
