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.

He’s dead, as is the military that existed under him.
Ukraine is accepting US citizens for service, go help.
Neocons will only learn in their final moments.
LOL, yes some of us are so wise, we can learn nothing from history. Okay
TLOZO - reporting in with his “Reagan would have supported the corrupt Democrate-deep-state political black box in Ukraine with all-out war” bull-Scheiße
What’s next for you?? “JESUS demands NATO enter the war in Ukraine!”
You hide behind patriotism like a coward.
US STOPPED sending military aid which is WHY its becoming a fiasco.
A curse on the bastards in DC Kiev, London, Paris, Brussels etc. that are prolonging this
No condemnation of the bastard that started this war, Putin.
Yes, everyone should submit immediately to invasion from a tyrannical regime. This IS FREE REPUBLIC right?
Pray tell, where will the grifters in congress and the three-letter agencies get their kickbacks, payoffs, and money laundering schemes when Ukraine caves?
Idiots forget Reagan supported the mujaheddin. Where they perfect?
Idiots forget Reagan supported the contra's? Where they perfect?
Sometimes you help the enemy of your enemy, without them being perfect.

These two diabolical witches kin to you ?
Nuland has retired, fat ,diumb and happy, undoubtedly richer too.
Hillary is just fat ,angry and always on the hunt for more loot.
My heart does go out to the average Joe Ukrainian conscript who are being blown to bits , while swindlers such as Nuland , Clinton, Biden , the whole stinking rotten EuroCrats and their petty EuroFeifdoms enrich themselves
Nuland and the CIA sold the EUcrats a plan that they were going to topple Russia and plunder their resources.
Oh….. backed the wrong horse ! Yet another failed CIA clusterhump ! whew !
Hey Zelensky, what is the timeframe for the Last Chopper Out of Kiev ™ scenario set to take place ?
LOL, yes its crazy/incomprehensible why EVERY neighbor of Russia, including Finland joined or is trying to join NATO.
Comparing modern-day Russia is not comparable to the Soviet Union. But, NATO might be and the Biden regime certainly is.
We, under Biden, are more comparable to the Soviet Union than modern-day Russia.
It’s not about the money, the ammo or the lack of air defence. It’s the glide bombs.
As one UKr soldier said the other day, they built defences and shelters three or four feet down. That’s plenty against 155 cal rounds, they do little damage to underground structures. But a 500 lb glide bomb not only will destroy the defences, the shock wave will collapse shelters even outside the blast radius.
Before, troops could shelter from the artillery and then pop out to fire, with little risk. But now, there’s no place that’s safe. You’re sitting there, just waiting for the next one.
Forget about defending Ukraine from Russia. Ronald Reagan would vomit over what the U.S. has become in 2024.
Protect our own border.
Sure, Ukrainians have no will of their own. They are forced to fight Russia & would happily lay down their arms & sing woke songs of socialist unity were it not for Nuland, or Hillary. Okay
My heart does go out to the average Joe Ukrainian conscript who are being blown to bits
Does your heart go out to Ukrainians in the Russian occupied territories who are robbed, tortured, raped and killed?
Christian leaders killed, tortured, disappeared in occupied Ukraine
Into the third year of Russia’s occupation of parts of Ukraine, Christian leaders are still being killed, tortured, and disappeared. And in Russia, priests who oppose Putin’s invasion continue to be imprisoned or silenced.
‘As President Putin begins his fifth term our partners describe growing pressure on the Church,’ says Paul Robinson, CEO of UK-based Release International, which supports persecuted Christians worldwide.
‘And yet,’ he says, ‘in the face of fear, insecurity and oppression, hunger for the gospel is growing. We hear reports of churches packed to overflowing and many giving their lives to Christ.’
