The move came just weeks after the US announced Ukraine would be able to use US-provided weapons on some targets inside Russia.

For more on this, KCBS Radio's Margie Shafer and Eric Thomas were joined by Robert Murret, Retired Vice Admiral with the U.S. Navy, Professor of Public Administration and International Affairs, and deputy director at the Institute for Security Policy and Law at Syracuse University.
