Last week, the US and the UK gave permission for long-range missiles to be used by Ukrainian forces against military facilities inside Russia for the first time. In response, Putin announced Russia had fired a new hypersonic intermediate-range missile at the Ukrainian city of Dnipro.

Kate Lamble is joined by Ian Garner, Lawrence Freedman, and Peter Ricketts.
