Massive swell of people to make any progress to have something to campaign with for Putin's re-election. Ukraine has been generally running low on artillery and can't fully capitalize on countering large unit offenses. The Ukrainians have a lot of western equipment but are low on funds to supply them.

You can’t reload Western equipment with funds, and the West’s ammunition production capacity has proven to be lacking compared to Russia’s.

Tbf, Russia has been sourcing ammunition from North Korea.

Hahahahaha, good joke. Well, I suppose it's true, if you think of rusty nails and pellets as being "ammunition".
