Ukraine have requested that this month's World Cup play-off against Scotland be postponed.
The game on March 24 was thrown into some doubt due to the Russian invasion of Ukraine last week.
Steve Clarke's side are due to face them at Hampden for a spot in the play-off final against either Wales or Austria.
The winner of the final would book their place at the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
Reuters are reporting that Ukraine have asked UEFA and FIFA to postpone the match.
The Scottish FA have already vowed to do everything they can to help their opponents.
A previous statement read: It read: "The Scottish FA President, Rod Petrie, has written to his counterpart at the Ukrainian Association of Football to send a message of support, friendship and unity.
"Football is inconsequential amid conflict, but we have conveyed the strong sense of solidarity communicated to us by Scotland fans and citizens in recent days.
"We remain in dialogue with UEFA and FIFA regarding our menâs FIFA World Cup Play-off and womenâs World Cup qualifier and have offered to support our Ukrainian colleaguesâ preparations as best we can in these unimaginably difficult circumstances.
"Should the current circumstances continue, we will not sanction the nomination of a team to participate in our scheduled UEFA Regions Cup fixture against Russia, due to be played in August.
"This will remain our position should any other fixtures arise at any level of international football."
