Western allies have not openly changed their policies or sent other weapons to Ukraine, which may amount to a deliberate tactic of ambiguity, Matthew Savill, director of military sciences at the Royal United Services Institute (Rusi), told i. “They want to keep the Russians guessing about what may come their way,” he said. “If [Russia] knew what they are facing they would possibly disperse their forces. Not knowing what is coming their way means they will need to make difficult decisions about where to put their defences.”
