Wait, don't they, "have a right to self-defense?"

They can and do attack Russian territory with their own weapons. When they use American weapons, they come with the provision that they must be used on targets in occupied Ukrainian territory.

This is still a stupid position, but no one is telling Ukraine what to do with their own stuff.
