We in c/Neoliberal support:

Neoliberals can be found in many political parties and we are not dogmatic supporters of specific parties. But we tend to find ourselves agreeing more often with parties that espouse liberal values, internationalism and centrist economics, such as the Democrats in the US, Liberal Democrats in the UK, FDP in Germany, Renaissance/MoDem in France, the Liberal Party in Canada, and so on.

KYIV — Devastating Russian missile attacks Monday that killed at least 37 people across Ukraine and destroyed a Kyiv children’s hospital have intensified fears that Ukraine’s air defenses remain insufficient and that Moscow will continue exploiting weaknesses, officials said Tuesday.

[…]

According to Ukrainian authorities, 33 out of 44 missiles were intercepted during Monday’s attack.

[…]

The attack on Okhmatdyt Children’s Hospital, a flagship cancer center, killed a doctor and another adult and destroyed a dialysis unit. Eight children were hospitalized with injuries. Many other patients were evacuated to other hospitals in Kyiv and some were awaiting transfer abroad.

[…]

After Monday’s attack, the White House reiterated that it would not further loosen restrictions on Ukraine striking targets within Russian territory using U.S.-provided weapons. John Kirby, a spokesman, said that U.S. weapons may only be used to strike border areas inside Russia where Moscow’s forces may be preparing imminent attacks on Ukraine.

Russia has repeatedly demonstrated a willingness to deliberately strike non-military targets in Ukraine; this attack on a prominent children’s hospital serves only to induce terror and break the resolve of Ukrainians by harming innocents.

The US is still not keen on loosening the restrictions it’s placed on the weapons it’s given Ukraine. Perhaps the airfields Russia is launching these from could be considered acceptable targets?
