Russia has munitions stored. It lacks trucks to get that to the front.

You can have as many shells as you want in storage but if the artillery keeps blowing the barrels out because they been used for 4000 shots without maintenance it the number of shells in the warehouse doesn't matter.

Something like "Ukraine gets all its territory back, Russia gets permission to buy gearboxes, bearings and other unexciting wonders of modern engineering".
