Opinion | Why Not Let Ukraine Hit Moscow?

The news this week that the U.S. will lend intelligence support for Ukraine’s long-range missile strikes on Russian targets is welcome—and testifies to the live debate inside the Trump Administration on how to deal with Vladimir Putin’s refusal to negotiate an end to his assault on Ukraine.

All who follow the war understand that Ukraine won’t gain the upper hand in the fight if the Russian homeland is a sanctuary. Mr. Trump himself said on social media this year that President Biden’s big mistake was refusing to let Ukraine “fight back” instead of merely defending its own territory. He was right then, not that his policy has changed much since.
