around half of the ammunition sent last month was so old that it needed to be sent to Russian factories for refurbishment

I feel like if an artillery shell is in such bad condition it needs refurbishment, it would be easier to just make a new shell instead.

An artillery shell is literally just explosives and an outer shell. The primer is added later. Are they sanding off the rust and refilling it with explosives?

I feel like that would be the case too, but maybe it becomes worth it if you're starved for some or all of the materials included.
