A harsh & cynical take. We (as in the UK populace) do care how many he kills. Also, we are not leaving the men behind, the Ukrainians decide who can leave and who has to stay.

The reasons behind the choice of weapons sent are complex: the risk of sending the latest tech is self-evident plus the training prereq for the more advanced weaponry is also a barrier.
