Kyiv Post → Source tone: certain

We think that we should allow them to neutralise military sites where missiles are fired, from where Ukraine is attacked.

Kyiv Independent → Source tone: certain

We think that we should allow them to neutralize military sites where missiles are fired, from where... Ukraine is attacked.

Kyiv Independent → Source tone: certain

If we tell them that you are not allowed to target the place from which missiles are fired, we are in fact telling them that we are providing you with weapons but you cannot defend yourself.

Kyiv Independent → Source tone: certain

We should not allow them to touch other targets in Russia, and obviously civilian facilities.
