Missiles fired at Ukraine are offensive weapons. On a 1-to-1 basis, missiles fired at Russian in retalliation are defensive weapons.

At this point Ukraine can say they have not harmed a single Russian in Russia, and that wins the argument when debating who is the aggressor.

If he sees he is losing he will escalate even if Ukraine only takes defensive measures. Hit strictly military targets. Attacking a country that has invaded your country is not escalating the war.
