So, there is a shortage. It is also temporary. Russia's offensive was timed to take advantage of a temporary weakness as Ukraine was short ammo and men. Now, they aren't short ammo, and soon they won't be short men.

IIRC it will enable Ukraine to fire around 5,000 shells per day which more than double what they currently can fire. Since Ukraine is on the defensive "the experts" believe that is going to negate Russia's shell advantage since defending is traditionally cheaper than attacking. "The experts" were saying that the goal of the offensive was to capture as much territory as possible before the shortages end.

Western counter battery fire is precise and deadly. It was reported that some Ukraine crews weren't shooting and scooting because the Russian counter battery fire posed little threat.
