Ukraine Escalates Attacks on Russian Targets as Allies Turn a Blind Eye to Long-Range Missiles

A significant escalation in Ukraine's military campaign against deep targets within Russia has been underway since August 2025. Despite Western allies' reluctance to permit the use of long-range missiles for these strikes, they have not objected to Ukraine utilizing its own domestically-produced arsenal, particularly drones, with some even providing assistance with targeting capabilities.

According to sources close to the matter, the Americans have provided support in helping Ukraine's drone operators pinpoint their targets. This is a stark contrast to their stance on using long-range missiles within Russia's borders.

Recently, France 24 was granted exclusive access to one of these targeted attacks. The launch, facilitated by Ukrainian drones equipped with precision-guided munitions, marked another significant development in the ongoing conflict between Ukraine and Russia.

Just saw that Ukraine is escalating its attacks on Russian targets ‍ and it's making a lot of people wonder why their allies aren't doing more ‍ They're not using long-range missiles themselves, but they're giving the Ukrainians drones with precision-guided munitions . That's so cool! The Americans are even helping them out

I'm all for Ukraine defending itself and I think it's awesome that they're making their own drones and using them to hit Russian targets . It shows that Ukraine is not going down without a fight .

But at the same time, I do wonder if Western allies should be more involved in this conflict ‍ Maybe they could help Ukraine with long-range missiles too . It's like they're giving Ukraine some support from one side, but not the other ‍.

I don't think it's fair to turn a blind eye on Russia's actions , though. They need to be held accountable for their actions in Ukraine .

I'm kinda worried about this escalating situation... I get that Ukraine needs to defend itself, but all this aggression is getting pretty intense. Using long-range missiles, even if it's from domestically-produced drones, is still a big deal. I think the international community should have a unified stance on this. It's like, they're letting Ukraine do its own thing with drones, but not with actual missiles - doesn't that create more problems in the long run? And what about Russia's perspective? Are we just ignoring their concerns or what?

People are saying that this is a game-changer for Ukraine ... others think it's just a matter of time before things escalate even further ... some are worried about the long-term consequences of using drones with precision-guided munitions on Russian targets ... but isn't it interesting how the West is willing to help out when it comes to drones, but not so much for those fancy long-range missiles?

OMG u guys , i cant even believe whats going on in this war . like americas & france are super chill about ukraine using their own tech & getting support from them 2 target russians but not with long-range missiles? it just dont add up ... or should i say its just a clever way of avoiding direct involvement ? either way, these targeted attacks r getting intense & its all happening right under russias nose . what do u guys think is going on here?

i'm still trying to wrap my head around this... so ukraine is basically on its own when it comes to using long-range missiles? like, western allies aren't gonna get involved or something? it's like they're saying "yeah, go ahead and use those drones, but don't even think about touching our stuff"

i mean, i guess it makes sense that the americans wouldn't want to get involved... all that missile-stuff is super scary and could escalate things. but still, it's weird that they're helping with drone-targeting capabilities though? like, can't we just have a united front or something?

and what about france? did they not say anything when the americans were being all chill with the drones? didn't they think it was a bit weird that ukraine was basically doing its own thing?

idk why western allies r so chill about long-range missiles being used on russians , like whats the diff? theyre already involved in the war somehow. but drones are a whole different story...it shows that ukraine is getting some serious tech support from its friends . america's involvement is a bit sus though, providing targeting help for their own backyard and not Russia's . still, i guess it's good to see them using their own arsenal rather than just giving the green light for long-range missile strikes .

I'm getting really worried about this whole thing . I mean, we all knew things were heating up in Ukraine, but using long-range missiles on Russian targets is a whole different ball game. And what's with the Western allies turning a blind eye to it? It feels like they're giving Ukraine an open invite to keep escalating the situation.

I'm not saying Russia didn't deserve it after what they've done, but now we're playing a super high-stakes game here. What if things get out of hand and we end up with a massive war on our hands? I know it's hard to say no when you see innocent people suffering, but sometimes I think the powers that be just don't understand how this whole thing works.

We need some serious diplomatic talks ASAP to find a way forward that doesn't involve more bombs and drones . This is getting too messy for anyone's good.
