Ukrainian military 'could collapse' without US support

As of 31 July, the US has provided the most military aid of any ally, £36.6bn - more than the next 10 top donors combined, according to the Kiel Institute for the World Economy.

Without military assistance from the US, Ukrainian soldiers would run short of ammunition for ground operations and equipment used to stop Russian strikes, experts told AFP.

"The Ukrainian military would weaken and then ultimately perhaps collapse", though it "might be able to just hold on on the defensive," Mark Cancian, a senior adviser at the Centre for Strategic and International Studies, said.
