Current estimates of Ukraine's daily consumption of 155mm rounds range from 2000 to 6000, depending on the intensity of fighting on any given day.
271 million would therefore pay for 6 to 17 days.
I am not criticising the Netherlands. I just want to reiterate how small the total amount Ukraine is actually receiving is. This only delays Ukraine's defeat - it does not prevent Russia from winning.
Russia is currently firing 10-16 thousand heavy artillery shells a day alone, and even more on days of extremely intense fighting.

...and Russia have their problems too-Their factory can't keep up with the ammo production-The ammo they get from NK and Iran is far from enough.
It will only be a matter of time when Russian artillery has to decrease their amount of daily firing shells.
If I remember correctly it was said in the news here in Denmark some month ago, that Russian weapon factory could produce was it 6 or 8.000 rounds per day.
