Ukrainian Artillery Impact and Changes in Conflict Dynamics

Recent reports suggest that the Ukrainian government has indicated a significant increase in the toll inflicted upon Russian artillery, allegedly tripling over the past few weeks. The effectiveness of Russian military operations relies heavily on artillery, which has been responsible for a large majority of Ukrainian casualties. Instead of ground assaults, the Russians tend to use artillery to devastate towns before seizing control. Although these reports may contain elements of propaganda and optimism, independent confirmations of increased artillery activity support the suggestion of changing dynamics in the conflict.
