Money and weapons to the Ukrainians. They have all the men and fighting spirit they need already. An announcement that weapons are coming would cause Vlad to have a kiniption and threaten all sorts of things. But he ain't gonna start WWIII over some anti-tank missiles. And with money and weapons to the Ukrainians the potential Russki body count goes way up. That is one thing Vlad hasn't had to deal with yet, lots of actual Russki soldiers getting killed. Nobody cares about the losers they have been using so far. If those guys die their local communities are probably better off for it. But if their contract professional soldiers start dying, things change.
