Ambiguity Неоднозначність (ua)
defined here as hostile actions that are difficult for a state to identify attribute or publicly define as coercive uses of force. Ambiguity is used to complicate or undermine the decision-making processes of the opponent. It is tailored to make any type of response difficult. In military terms, it is designed to fall below the threshold of war and to delegitimize or render irrational the ability to respond with the use of military force.
