This article drives how how badly Ukraine needs long-range, mobile, counter-battery fire capability as the war enters its next phase in the Donbass.

Frankly, I think the confirmed 18 towed 155mm guns that the US is giving Ukraine are little moral than a symbolic gesture. NATO should send them MLRS systems and [more] counter-battery radars, STAT.
Once the Russians have seized territory in the east, it's going to be very difficult to drive them out of it. I have to wonder if the Ukrainian flag will ever fly over Mariupol again.
Slava Ukraini!
