The possibility of Ukraine's army collapsing cannot be ruled out, an unnamed US official told Bloomberg.
The report said, citing talks with multiple officials, that Ukraine's position on the battlefield is at its most fragile moment since Russia's full-scale invasion began in February 2022.
Ukraine's war effort has been weakened in recent months by a severe shortage of ammunition, dipping morale among Ukrainian soldiers, and the impasse in Congress over US aid to Ukraine, Bloomberg reported.
One major risk is a collapse of Ukraine's line of defense, which would allow Russia to make a major advance, Bloomberg said, citing an official speaking anonymously.
In recent weeks, building on its capture of Avdiivka, Russia has advanced incrementally in eastern Ukraine, claiming new territory and threatening the town of Chasiv Yar in the Donetsk region.
Ukrainian Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said Friday that the government would allocate a further Hr 3.88 billion (almost $100 million) to help reinforce fortifications, primarily in the Kharkiv and Sumy regions, which sit near Russia's border.
However, The Wall Street Journal reported in March that although Ukrainian troops were building fortifications in preparation for an oncoming Russian offensive, there are fears that not enough progress is being made.

but everything will be alright if they get more money
Exactly....dangle them a few Hamilton’s and everything will be good.
“ONLY money from US taxpayers can stop it! Eurozone money us ineffective as a talisman!”
The sooner, the better!
A collapsing army. I seem to recall something similar earlier during the Brandon Installation.
Not our war.
Hurry it up so it will be Bidens fault
Maybe Ukraine shouldn’t have sold what was given to them.
It was the idiotic talk of bringing Ukraine into NATO that made the Russians upset.
The Biden regime was involved. Idiots.
The Republicans lost Ukraine is the narrative. They could have won if the Reps had supported the Biden policies.
Nope, you guys keep telling us that the Ukrainians are winning.
How does money fix this?
Explain in specific detail.
I know zero people in real life that are voting based upon Ukraine or Russia.
The economy, wetbacks, dark chimpouts are so far ahead in triage.
It’s laughable that any “news” over Ukraine means anything to non news junkies.
Sending weapons helps nations defend themselves.
Hey “Z”...the EU owns you...ask them...
For any Zeepers or 3 letter Agency Bots, this guy is not a “Russian Bot“ or ”Putinista”.
He is generally Ukrainian leaning , however, he is a realist .
Fwiw, I watch a variety of War Mappers and they all are arriving at the same conclusion, the Ukrainians are getting crushed across a 600 mile long front.
For the US to continue to fund this fiasco( a fiasco for the dog faces on both sides, may they rest in peace .😢
A curse on the bastards in DC Kiev, London, Paris, Brussels , etc. that are prolonging this for their own enrichment.
If the EU can’t support this war why are we. This is an EU problem, not ours.
