Ukraine’s targets in Russia are fully justified | Letters

NEWS SUMMARY

A letter argues that Ukraine's strikes on Russian dual-use infrastructure, such as oil refineries, are justified as they directly enable the war effort and aim to shorten the conflict. The author contends that Russian civilians' support for the war, coupled with Russia's targeting of Ukrainian civilian sites, complicates a strict distinction between combatants and non-combatants, suggesting such strikes are a legitimate defensive strategy.
