As the other poster said, they are already being used. In this case, they will be used by Ukraine in Ukrainian territory. Sorta up to them, given that they are in a fight for their very existence as a democratic nation. Both nations appear to be on a "total war" footing, i.e. neither is going to give up until it becomes too expensive to continue. With continued support from the west, coupled with the existential threat to Ukraine, Russia will likely have to throw in the towel. It's just a question of when.

I think we should be providing them with longer-range weapons that can strike into Russian territory, and release the prohibition on them doing so. It's a lot easier to be in a war when your cities aren't being hit, and you can put your air assets, and command and control, out of reach because of such prohibitions. It's ugly, but Putin started it, and now Ukraine is fighting for its right to exist. Russia needs to feel the pain, not only of their soldiers dying, but of being a target themselves (i.e. their infrastructure and military assets).
