Agreed. Russia has close to 20,000 artillery pieces, the Ukies less than 4,000- many of which( has been captured or destroyed).

In addition, artillery must have massive support, movers, supply vehicles, fuel convoys- ammo is heavy, the Ukies have no production of shells, factories all bombed- heavy movers, fuel, rail lines destroyed…..relying on depots ( that have been targeted) and western charity. Trained artillery men ( Redlegs) disappearing, weeks to train, months to get fielded.
The 90 M777 artillery pieces brain dead Biden gave away ( taken largely from Marines) have to make it across the flat plains, metric tons of ammunition, initial reports already show a dozen or so M777 pieces have been destroyed / silenced enroute.
Lastly, video from the Territorial Guards ( not available on western MSM) tell a story, 24/7 unlimited Russian shelling, “ one Ukie shell to 25 Russian shells”, be very careful what you choose to believe.
The Donbass WILL get their Independence from the Ukies as agreed to in 2014.
The Ukies after losing the Donbass will have a perilous retreat west across the flat plains….forget the promised “ Great tank battle” on those plains, non western reported Ukie armor losses already topping 3,000- as of 26 May.
Best for the little corrupted beggar Zelensky to enter negotiations when Vlad finishes taking the Donbass. Non western video shows massive fortifying in the taken areas, triple trench systems, minefields, concrete bunkers, improvement of supply roads, etc…Vlad has every intention in holding the Independent Donbass provinces. Expect the 30 mile wide “ buffer” zone on the Independent LDR and DNR borders to be in place before Vlad agrees to negotiations.
It would almost be sinful to allow the Poles to profit or benefit in any way from any of this business. I hope Russia takes the entire thing and sets up a buffer zone between the new Russia and Poland.
