    It’s all about plausible deniability. The US didn’t want to arm them with anything that could reach Moscow and hit Russian territory in general, but the Ukrainians have developed the ability to do so on their own, so now US officials I think are more willing to discuss these things, since it can’t be directly traced to them (since now Russia can’t prove it was specifically American armaments or equipment used whenever it gets hit inside it’s territory).
