Jim Rolfe: We may not have enough weapons to send to Ukraine - Early Edition with Ryan Bridge

A security expert says New Zealand may have too little weaponry to send to Ukraine.  
The Defence Minister has asked Cabinet to send anti-tank missiles and lethal support over, but his request's been declined.  
Victoria University Centre for Strategic Studies' Jim Rolfe told Kate Hawkesby one reason could be a group in Cabinet prefers non-lethal support. 
“Another possible thought is that the numbers we have are quite small really, and it might look as if a little bit derisory to be sending tens of weapons rather than hundreds or thousands that other countries can send.”
