HIT THE ARCHER, NOT THE ARROW: With every Russian glide bomb attack on civilian targets in Ukraine — an apartment building in Kharkiv and both a children’s orphanage and rehabilitation center in Sumy — President Volodymyr Zelensky argues that the case for using U.S.-supplied long-range missiles to hit Russian launch sites becomes more urgent.

“This terror can be effectively stopped only in one way: by strikes on Russian military airfields, on their bases, on the logistics of Russian terror. And most importantly, it is possible. We talk about it every day with our partners. We convince them. We present arguments,” Zelensky said in his nightly video address Saturday night.
