asking myself why ukraine would use its scarce resources to do this...

Doesn’t matter where the planes are located. They can be used against Ukraine. Sure, they might have to move to a different base first. So of course they are a target Ukraine would want to hit.

Just as important is the psychological effect of hitting targets far from Ukraine. Being a one time attack, you have to go for as many targets as you can, because there is no second chance. And a coordinated attack on multiple wide spread targets heightens the psychological effect.
