“The French talk down suggestions that Ukrainian morale, supply lines and logistics are so stretched there may be a collapse this summer. The most likely future this year is stalemate, and a long war, Paris believes” https://t.co/FAvIW4PU3f

On ammunition: situation varies along front. Ukraine’s shell shortage remains acute, but rationing in place for a while & fires disadvantage isn’t v much worse now than a month ago. Moreover there is still US & European ammo in pipeline. Won’t go to zero. https://t.co/cBKQ6O5yM7

Well. Everything is fine according to European officials, Lol. Despite Ukraine saying repeatedly over the past couple months they have a severe ammunition shortage. I don't suspect a collapse will happen, so I agree there, but there's clearly an ammunition shortage which is causing unnecessary Ukrainian deaths and a faster than expected loss of territory as was the case with Avdiivka.
