I’m paying attention to the artillery analysis as an indicator to what the truth is in the direction of the war, since it is so difficult to know what the truth is from the general news and the intense and conflicting claims on the war.
There is heavy and growing weight to the claims of the worn out and less effective Russian artillery and the shortage of shells, in contrast to the growing artillery/missile strength of the Ukrainians, that is a positive sign.
Where the artillery situation will lead and if Ukraine has the ground forces to capitalize on it, we will see, but it is still good news.

“I’m paying attention to the artillery analysis as an indicator to what the truth is in the direction of the war”
In the last (most recent) phase of the war, the Russian Artillery advantage (and their ruthless war crime tactic of levelling the civilian infrastructure to advance) was probably the dominant factor.
Just as with the previously dominant Russian advantages in missiles, air power and armored vehicles, their Artillery advantage seems to be being negated through attrition and Western technology.
They are running out of big cards to play, and have been making less and less headway each month since the first. Russian advances have come to virtual halt in recent weeks.
