It's interesting that the biggest gripe he had was the situation as far as artillery counter battery fire game was going. If you happen to follow open source intelligence's recording of confirmed Russian losses (as well as the Ukrainian armies own, probably somewhat inflated, kill claims), for awhile now there's been a fairly notable inversion of Russia starting to lose artillery systems in much greater numbers than main battle tanks. While the Ukrainians haven't been making the front-line breakthroughs that some where hoping for, they do seem to be making progress in an artillery attrition game.
Probably fairly substantial since the US is also starting to open Ukraine up to cluster munition artillery, which they have very deep stocks of.
