It would definitely change the game. After Pearl Harbor the United States launched the Doolittle Raid to bomb Tokyo from so far out that our bombers had to ditch in China. It stunned Japan and announced to them that we were not a force to be trifled with. They responded extremely aggressively in trying to take out our aircraft carrier fleet and eliminating our presence in the Pacific by taking Midway. They crafted an aggressive plan that didn't consider that the US might know they were coming, we placed our carriers away from Midway, and after they bombed Midway we launched from the carriers and sunk three of their four carriers. That completely changed the war, from that point forward it was a succession of island-hopping victories eventually leading to Iwo Jima and Okinawa.

Ukraine does not have the capability to fly into Moscow and hit like we did to Tokyo. But you're right, if they did it would be a game changer at home for Putin.
