The idea that Ukraine should let Russia occupy its territory, steal its children, murder its people, attack its electrical grid without response is just fucking nuts. The Biden admin is nuts to think that they can dictate what Ukraine can do with indigenously produced weapons.

A strategic campaign against Russia proper will force the Russians to divert weapons from Ukrainian territory. This can help Ukraine liberate its people from the fascist Russian state.

That's the World police USA for you, telling Ukraine to not attack but keeps sending weapons to Isreal

The fact that anyone has the gall to get shirty with Ukraine for taking down some oil refineries in Russia after Russia has:

completely reneged on all meaningful provisions of the Budapest Memorandum
tried to puppet Ukraine through influence operations one way or another, basically since the fall of the Soviet Union
annexed Crimea 10 years ago
invaded Ukraine in a shockingly brutal fashion
repeatedly and systematically struck entirely civilian targets (residences, hospitals, tons of stuff with zero military utility)
we can go on - there’s a big list

Is really impressive.

According to the Financial Times, the United States allegedly urged Ukraine to limit attacks on Russian energy infrastructure citing potential repercussions on global oil prices.

Why is no one questioning who these mysterious "sources" are that are claiming to speak for the entire US? It's obvious to me that they do not speak for us, and no one in the government will confirm anything some anonymous scumbag piece of cowardly shit says.
