The Spin
Because of current restrictions on long-range weapons, Russia simply moves its weapons out of range, hampering Ukraine's ability to put any pressure on its military. Ukraine has waited too long to receive these permissions.
Should NATO countries lift restrictions and allow itstheir long-range weapons to strike Russia, RussiaMoscow will have no choice but to see this as NATO's direct involvement in the war and proceedrespond accordingly.
