I don’t blame them. Ukraine needs to take the war to Russia to win.

    The article is paywalled anyway.

    The basis for the title is that Ukraine is still hitting targets in Russia. Honestly, I don’t believe the US was serious about their comments opposing those strikes. US oil companies will just make more profits after all.

    I believe the argument was that it would raise global oil prices but that wouldn’t make sense unless Russia is doing a better job of bypassing sanctions than we know about. There have been rumblings of Russia using intermediate countries to move oil and other resources, so there is that.

      If anything, it’s an obligatory, “no… please… don’t…” to maintain plausible deniability.
