Because striking Ukraine from elsewhere is fine?

Who else is doing it?

Russia is striking Ukrainian targets from Ukrainian territory which, according to the used phrasing, is fine.

Artillery wise yes, but a lot of russian aviation striking ukrainian targets are based well within pre feb 2022 russian controlled borders

If you read that comment and thought they were saying that it's fine when Russia attacks Ukraine, so long as it's done from within Ukraine using shorter range missiles, then you need to touch some grass, speak face to face with some actual humans, and discover how people talk, because any normal person wouldn't interpret that comment that way.
