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, it's going to be very difficult to drive them out of it.

The US, UK, and Canada all announced today they're sending additional "heavy artillery" to Ukraine, which I presume will be either 105mm or 155mm based on what each country has in use currently. There were also some AN/TPQ-36 in the last assistance package, and I imagine there'll be more as US troops finish doing train-the-trainer training with Ukrainian forces.
