From the Internet web site "Task and Purpose". The tip from "Bayou Renaissance Man".

"Russia is hammering Ukraine with up to 60,000 artillery shells and rockets every day"

“Instead of a concrete target, the strikes target an entire neighborhood."

"The Russians are using indiscriminate and overwhelming artillery strikes to grind Ukrainian defenders down, underscoring how the Russian military’s approach to firepower prizes volume over accuracy."

Artillery duel the Ukraine conflict much to the advantage of the Russians. Sixty-thousand rounds of artillery and rocket fire directed at the Ukrainian each day. Amount of ordnance fire probably taking into account in the Soviet era manner all conventional tube artillery, rocket artillery and mortars of size 120 mm and greater.

For comparison sake in the historical sense consider that 60,000 rounds per day as fired by Russian artillery Ukraine:

* The Somme. First World War. The British for the one week preceding the ground assault fired about one and one-half million artillery rounds at the German positions. [about 1/3 of those as fired failing to detonate]

* Battle of Stalingrad. Second World War. That last month of the battle the Soviets fired about two million artillery rounds of all calibers at the German defender.

MIND that in the two instances of Somme and Stalingrad bombardment confined to a smaller area than that sixty-thousands rounds per day Ukraine. 

Additionally and totally within context consider that entire Bayou Renaissance Man article: "An army marches on its stomach - and its arsenals".

As described by MAN from his own personal Angolan military experience, Russian military depot artillery ammunition captured by the South African found often to be old, dated, decrepit, dangerous to store AND use.

Russian ammo the Ukraine Conflict similar? Who knows? Beware the big bang.
