I don’t think Ukraine asked for permission (I have no evidence either way, it just seems unlikely).
The struck bases inside Russia are launching points for Russian attacks on Ukrainian infrastructure - roads, bridges, hospitals, power stations, etc - and are therefore legitimate military targets. This is not escalation, this is self defense.
