We really need to lift all restrictions for Ukraine on the use of weapons they’re being given

yes, attacking valid military targets within internationally recognized russian borders like weapon depots, troop staging grounds and so on would be useful operationally (if perhaps not strategically, because it gives russians push to adapt at least). however

Let them rain horror on the Russian people, and see how fast the country turns against putin and his regime. Otherwise this war will drag on forever.

attacking civilians is counterproductive if you want to turn them against current govt
